Rice Krispie Chocolate Cookies (Print)

Golden cookies blend chocolate, crisped rice, and a hint of marshmallow for a chewy, crunchy bite.

# Ingredients:

→ Base

01 - 2 cups (50 g) Rice Krispies cereal
02 - 1 cup (130 g) all-purpose flour
03 - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
04 - 1/4 teaspoon fine salt

→ Creaming Mixture

05 - 1/2 cup (115 g) unsalted butter, softened
06 - 1/2 cup (110 g) packed brown sugar
07 - 1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar

→ Binding and Flavor

08 - 1 large egg
09 - 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract

→ Mix-ins

10 - 1 cup (180 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
11 - 1/2 cup (25 g) mini marshmallows (optional)

# Steps:

01 - Set oven to 175°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl until fully blended.
03 - In a large bowl, beat softened unsalted butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar for 2–3 minutes until light and fluffy.
04 - Incorporate the egg and vanilla extract into the creamed mixture until fully combined.
05 - Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just combined, ensuring no visible flour remains.
06 - Gently fold Rice Krispies cereal, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and mini marshmallows into the dough until evenly distributed.
07 - Spoon rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing 5 cm apart.
08 - Place the tray in the oven and bake for 10–12 minutes, or until edges are golden and centers remain slightly soft.
09 - Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

# Additional Notes:

01 - Mini marshmallows impart a chewy, gooey texture; for a firmer result, omit them.
02 - Centers may appear underbaked after removal from the oven but will firm up as they cool.
