Cookies are one of the world’s most beloved desserts, and everyone has a favorite. But sometimes, adding a unique twist can make a classic even more magical. Enter: Rice Krispie Chocolate Chip Cookies — a delightful fusion of crispy cereal crunch and gooey chocolate comfort.

🏛️ A Bit of History
- Chocolate chip cookies were invented by Ruth Wakefield in the 1930s at the Toll House Inn in Massachusetts.
- Rice Krispies cereal was introduced by Kellogg’s in 1928, known for its “Snap, Crackle, Pop” sound.
- Combining the two? A more modern creation — likely sparked by home bakers wanting to add new textures to old favorites.
🍽️ Ingredients
For about 30 cookies:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
- ½ cup white sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 cups chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)
- 2 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- Optional: ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (for nut lovers)
🧑🍳 Instructions
1. Preheat & Prep
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
2. Cream Butter & Sugars
In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until light and fluffy (about 2–3 minutes with a mixer).
3. Add Wet Ingredients
Beat in the eggs, one at a time. Add vanilla extract and mix until combined.
4. Combine Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this to the wet mixture.
5. Add Mix-ins
Fold in the chocolate chips and then gently stir in the Rice Krispies (and nuts if using). Don’t overmix – keep the cereal crunchy!
6. Scoop & Bake
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto your prepared baking sheets, leaving room to spread.
Bake for 10–12 minutes or until edges are golden and centers are still soft.
7. Cool & Serve
Let cookies cool for 2 minutes on the sheet, then transfer to a wire rack. Enjoy warm or store in an airtight container.
