What, to you, makes a great cookie? For me it's a combination of textures and flavors: chewy and crispy, with sweet and unexpected ingredients.
These oatmeal and Rice Krispie cookies are a great example. Take a delicious oatmeal cookie base and add in some Rice Krispie cereal for an unexpected sweet and crispy crunch. And then I add in chocolate chips. Because chocolate makes everything better!
The result is a cookie with a delightful harmony of flavor in every bite!

Why You'll Love these Rice Krispie Cookies!
What's not to love? Oatmeal - good. Rice Krispies - good. Chocolate chips - good.
It checks all the boxes.
And really, with both oatmeal and Rice Krispies cereal in the cookies, I think you would be justified in having these for breakfast. Don't you agree? 😃
Ingredients Needed
How to Make Rice Krispie Cookies
- Like most cookies, these start by creaming together the butter with the sugars. I like to use an electric hand mixer for this, to get them evenly combined. Then mix in the eggs and vanilla.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda and oats, then add to the mixing bowl and stir to combine.
- Now add the cereal and chocolate chips to the bowl and stir with a spoon to evenly distribute throughout the dough.
- Use a cookie scoop to measure the dough and place on a parchment lined baking sheet, about 2 inches apart. With your fingers, gently flatten the balls of dough slightly. They will spread a little when baking, so don't flatten completely.

- Bake the cookies for 10 minutes in a 350F oven. Allow the cookies to cool 1 or 2 minutes on the baking sheet before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
