    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.

    I love when people request that I bring Homemade Banana Pudding to things. Not only is it one of my favorites, but it’s easy to make enough for a crowd. It’s quick to make and everyone loves it!

    A completely underrated recipe on the blog is this Smoked Turkey Pepper Jack Quesadilla. It’s not a typical quesadilla and it has a surprising ingredient you might not expect 😁

    This pineapple pico de gallo is a staple for me in the summer because it’s a perfect combo of sweet and spicy. It goes really great with chicken and fish, but my favorite is eating it with lime tortilla chips 😍😍😍

    This Greek Pasta Salad takes traditional pasta salad we're all familiar with and swaps the regular pasta for tortellini and the dressing for a Greek-style favorite. It's easy to make, makes the perfect side dish (hello Greek Turkey Burgers!), and you can make it 3-4 days in advance. A total win/win.
