What You’ll Need: Pantry Staples, Maximum Joy
Grab these cozy ingredients—you probably already have most:
1 cup (2 sticks / 227g) unsalted butter, softened
¾ cup (150g) packed brown sugar (dark = richer flavor!)
½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 tsp vanilla extract
2¼ cups (280g) all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
1½ cups (270g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 cups (40g) Rice Krispies cereal (or any plain puffed rice)
That’s it.
No sour cream.
No corn syrup.
Just real food, baked into brilliance.
Pro tip: For extra depth, use browned butter—it adds nutty richness!
How to Make Them: Step-by-Step, Bite-by-Bite
Let’s cook this like we’re making edible confetti—one golden forkful at a time.
Step 1: Preheat & Prep
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone mat (no sticking!).
Step 2: Cream Butter & Sugars
In a large bowl:
Beat butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar with a mixer until light and fluffy (~2 mins).
Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each.
Mix in vanilla extract.
This builds air and flavor—don’t skip the fluff!
Step 3: Combine Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl:
Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add to wet ingredients, mixing on low until just combined.
Don’t overmix—it toughens cookies
