This variation of traditional chocolate chip cookies gets a crunchy flair from crispy rice cereal. Loved by kids and adults alike and great for gifts.

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup butter, at room temperature
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla
  • 2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 4 cups crispy rice cereal
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silpat baking mats.

In an extra large bowl, cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla, beating until thoroughly combined.

In a smaller bowl, stir flour, baking soda, and salt together with a fork. Add flour mixture to wet ingredients in the large bowl, stirring until combined. Mixture will be thick. Add rice cereal and chocolate chips, gently folding until combined.

Drop compressed rounded tablespoons of the dough onto the cookie sheets, placing them 1-1/2 inches apart. Bake 12 to 15 minutes until golden brown. Cool cookies thoroughly on racks. Store crunchy chocolate chip cookies in a covered container.

Yield: 6 dozen cookies
