Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup brown sugar, packed
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup mini chocolate chips
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp baking soda

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking soda. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3–4 minutes.
  4. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  5. Gradually mix in the flour mixture until just incorporated. Fold in the Rice Krispies cereal and mini chocolate chips.
  6. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until edges are golden brown and centers are set. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

For extra crunch, chill the dough for 20–30 minutes before baking. Cookies stay fresh up to 5 days in an airtight container.
