Step 1: Preheat the Oven & Prepare Baking Sheet

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3: Cream Butter and Sugars

In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This takes about 2–3 minutes with a hand mixer.

Step 4: Add Eggs and Vanilla Extract

Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add vanilla extract and mix until fully combined.

Step 5: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture into the wet mixture. Stir on low speed or mix gently by hand until just combined—avoid overmixing.

Step 6: Fold in Rice Krispies & Chocolate Chips

Using a spatula, gently fold in the Rice Krispies and chocolate chips until evenly distributed. Be careful not to crush the Rice Krispies.

Step 7: Portion & Shape the Dough

Scoop the dough into 1 ½-inch balls and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 8: Bake to Perfection

Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown. The centers may look slightly underbaked—this is fine as they will set while cooling.

Step 9: Cool & Enjoy

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm or store for later!
