Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (227 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup (150 g) granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup (165 g) packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups (315 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups (85 g) Rice Krispies cereal
  • 1 1/2 cups (270 g) white chocolate chips or chunks

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and packed brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract. Mix until glossy and thick.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed or folding with a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Gently fold in the Rice Krispies cereal and white chocolate chips, being careful not to crush the cereal.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons (about 1 1/2 tablespoons or 22 g) of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are golden and centers look set but still soft.
  9. Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

If cookies spread too much, chill dough for 15 minutes before baking. Fold Rice Krispies gently to keep texture intact. Use softened but not melted butter to prevent spreading. Let cookies cool on baking sheet before transferring to rack. Variations include adding nuts, dried fruit, or swapping white chocolate for dark chocolate.
