How to make chocolate rice krispie cookies
Detailed instructions and measurements are listed in the recipe card at the bottom of this page.
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, cream together the butter, vanilla extract, and egg.
- In a separate bowl, combine sugar, brown sugar, flour, baking soda, baking powder, and oats. Stir until fully combined and then add to the butter mixture.
- Stir until well blended. Fold in m&ms, cocoa rice Krispies, and white chocolate chips.
- Using a cookie scoop, scoop rounded balls of dough onto a silicone or parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes. Allow to cool 1 minute on the baking sheet and then transfer to a cooling rack to completely cool.
Tips and tricks
- It’s important that your butter is softened. It will not mix properly with the vanilla extract and egg if it is not.
- I prefer to make this in a stand mixer, but an electric mixer works great as well.
- Follow the recipe exactly as written. With baking, even the slightest changes can change the entire result.
- Don’t over bake them! You can take a soft cookie to a crunchy one rapidly by over baking or leaving on the baking sheet too long.
FAQs
- What size cookie scoop should I use? I use this one in the 2 TBSP size.
- How do I store these cookies? I highly recommend storing them in an airtight container. As cute as cookie jars can be, I recommend sticking with only an airtight container. It will keep them soft and delicious much longer.
- What baking sheet do you use? I use these. I replace them every couple of years because they get used and abused so frequently in our home. They last a while with regular use!
Alterations for picky eaters
- I don’t recommend any changes for picky eaters with this one. You can swap out the candies for something else (even Reese’s pieces instead of M&Ms), but other than that I would make as written.
Alterations to lower calories or WW points
- I recommend just going with the full fat, full calorie version. You could try replacing the sugar with sugar substitutes, but I’ve found it does not yield the same results.
