For the cookies:
- 2 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup mini marshmallows (optional for extra gooeyness)
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Stir in Rice Krispies and Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the Rice Krispies and chocolate chips (and mini marshmallows, if using) until evenly distributed.
- Shape the Cookies: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. The centers might seem slightly undercooked, but they will set up as they cool.
- Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy: Serve warm or store in an airtight container for up to a week!
