Ingredients

Scale

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)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. 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.
  4. Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
  5. Mix Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Stir in Rice Krispies and Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the Rice Krispies and chocolate chips (and mini marshmallows, if using) until evenly distributed.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Enjoy: Serve warm or store in an airtight container for up to a week!
