Units
Scale
- 1 cup butter, softened to room temperature
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 2 cups Rice Krispie cereal
- 1–2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
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.
