These cookies combine the crunch of Rice Krispies with creamy white chocolate chips for a chewy, crispy, and addictive treat that’s quick and easy to make with pantry staples.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups (315g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup (165g) packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups (270g) white chocolate chips
  • 2 cups (60g) Rice Krispies cereal
  • Optional: ½ cup chopped macadamia nuts or pecans

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until light, fluffy, and pale, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed or folding by hand until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in the white chocolate chips and Rice Krispies cereal. If using, fold in the chopped nuts.
  7. Drop dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets using a cookie scoop or tablespoon.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden brown and centers look set but soft.
  9. Let cookies sit on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to crisp up.

Notes

Use softened butter, not melted, for best texture. Fold Rice Krispies gently to keep them intact. Chill dough 15-20 minutes if cookies spread too much. Reduce oven temperature by 10°F if white chocolate melts too fast and extend baking time slightly. Dough can be chilled up to 24 hours to improve flavor and texture.
