Tips to Make Rice Krispie Chocolate Chip Cookies

  • Make sure your butter is softened before mixing. This helps everything come together nicely.
  • Don’t overcrowd the cookie sheet; give them space to spread while baking.
  • If you like, add a sprinkle of sea salt on top of the cookies before baking for an extra flavor boost.

FAQs

  1. Can I use margarine instead of butter? Yes, margarine can work, but the flavor may be a little different.

  2. Can I freeze the cookie dough? Absolutely! You can scoop the dough onto a baking sheet, freeze until solid, and then store in a zip-top bag. Just bake them straight from the freezer, adding a minute or two to the baking time.

  3. What if I don’t have Rice Krispies? You can use any similar puffed cereal for that crunchy texture, such as Corn Pops or Cheerios.

Enjoy making these Rice Krispie Chocolate Chip Cookies with family and friends! Happy baking!
