Crunchy Crispy Cookies


Baking has taken a back seat this summer. Between the heat (which has been unreal) to the pregnancy fatigue (which has also been unreal) baking has become a hobby from my past. A few nights ago I wanted cookies. NOW. And not just cookies, homemade cookies. So I hobbled walked into the kitchen and got to work. After making a couple original cookie recipes I have become quite confident in my abilities to throw things together and see what happens.  These came out awesome! I think the texture at first can be a bit surprising, you can definitely "feel" the rice krispies in the cookie in each bite. They have a subtle peanut butter hint to them with chocolate chips in each bite. Definitely a fun twist on the traditional chocolate chip cookie- give it a shot!

Ingredients:
1 stick butter, melted
1/2 cup chunky peanut butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/4 tsp. salt
1 cup rice krispies
1 cup flour
3/4 cup chocolate chips

Directions:
1- Preheat the oven to 350.
2- In a large bowl stir the chunky peanut butter into the melted butter while it's still hot, stirring well. Add the sugars and mix.
3- Stir in the egg, vanilla, and salt. Mix until well incorporated.
4- Mix in the rice krispies and flour until well incorporated, stir in the chocolate chips.
5- Scoop by the tablespoon onto a greased cookie sheet or a silpat lined sheet. Bake 10-12 minutes, until golden on the edges. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.

  3. Rice Krispies do add a fun texture to cookies. Peanut butter would make them even better.

  4. I love having a crunch (that is not a nut) in my cookies. Rice Krispies are a great addition to ANY cookie. These look crave worthy.
