Cook time: 30 minutes
Servings: 24
Ingredients
- 0 parchment paper for lining baking sheet
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter softened
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar packed
- 1 egg large
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil optional
- 0 parchment paper for setting dipped cookies
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Gently fold in the Rice Krispies cereal, being careful not to crush them too much.
- Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Gently press down on each ball of dough to flatten it slightly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using). Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
- Once the cookies are completely cool, dip each one halfway into the melted chocolate, allowing the excess to drip off. Place the dipped cookies on a sheet of parchment paper or a wire rack to set.
- Let the cookies sit at room temperature until the chocolate is set. If you're in a hurry, you can place them in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to speed up the process.
- Enjoy your Rice Krispy Treat Cookies as a sweet, crispy treat! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
