Instructions

Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Mix the Dry Ingredients:
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Set aside.
Cream the Butter and Sugars:
In a separate large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar using an electric mixer for about 2-3 minutes, until light and fluffy.
Add Eggs and Vanilla:
Add the eggs one at a time, and mix in the vanilla extract. Beat for an additional 2 minutes until the mixture is smooth.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just enough to combine everything.
Stir in Oats, Cereal, and Chocolate Chips:
Using a large spoon, gently stir in the rolled oats, Rice Krispie cereal, and chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Scoop the Dough:
Use a cookie scoop or a tablespoon to drop the dough onto the prepared cookie sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 9-10 minutes or until the edges start to turn a light golden brown. Be careful not to overbake.
Cool:
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For extra crunch, lightly toast the oats before adding them to the batter.
If you prefer your cookies thicker, you can chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
Try mixing in other additions like chopped nuts or coconut flakes for added texture and flavor.
