Hey there, cookie lovers! If you’re anything like me, there’s nothing quite like a homemade cookie fresh out of the oven. They’re warm, gooey, and made with ingredients you trust, none of those ingredients that you cannot even pronounce! Plus, the aroma that fills your kitchen is simply unbeatable. Store-bought cookies? They just can’t compete, so why don’t we ditch them for now and let’s go make some homemade freshly bake cookies? Shall we?

Chocolate chip cookies are a classic favorite, and there’s a good reason why. They’re incredibly versatile and easy to customize. Whether you like them with nuts, dried fruit, or different types of chocolate, there’s no wrong way to make them. You can tweak the recipe to suit your cravings or whatever ingredients you have on hand. I like mine with plenty of chocolate and sometimes, a not so traditional ingredient to make it interesting and fun. This recipe have that not so traditional ingredient for a cookie, you already probably guess by the titl of this post.

Now, let’s talk about the unique twist in our recipe: rice crispy cereal. Yes, the one that you eat for breakfast is no longer just for breakfast. Adding rice crispy cereal gives these cookies an amazing crunch that’s totally unexpected. It takes your regular chocolate chip cookie to a whole new level of deliciousness. Every bite is a delightful mix of chewy and crispy. It’s popping delicious 🙂

Making these cookies is a breeze. You don’t need any fancy equipment or complicated steps. Just mix, scoop, and bake! It’s perfect for both beginner bakers and seasoned pros looking for a quick treat. You can even customize it and add extra ingredients to make it … extra special. Let me know what you want to add to this cookie. Nuts, dried fruits, more chocolate?

These cookies are also great for making ahead. You can prepare the dough in advance and freeze it. When you’re ready for fresh cookies, just bake as usual. This means you can have fresh, homemade cookies anytime you want without the hassle of starting from scratch each time. But because this recipe is so easy to make, making it the same day you want it is not a problem.

So, why should you make this recipe? First off, it’s a fun twist on a classic cookie. The oats and rice crispy cereal add texture and flavor that make these cookies stand out. Plus, they’re sure to impress anyone you share them with. I shared this with friends and use it as part of my edible gifts and they loved it!

Using oats in this recipe not only adds a great texture but also brings in the health benefits of whole grains. Oats are known for their fiber content, which can help keep you full longer and maintain a healthy gut. Combined with the crunch of rice crispy cereal, these cookies are both tasty and somewhat nutritious. I say somewhat because in the end this is still a sinfully delicious treat no matter how you look at it.

This recipe is also fantastic for when you need a quick and easy dessert. The dough comes together in minutes, and the cookies bake up fast. They’re perfect for last-minute get-togethers or when you simply need a sweet treat in a hurry.

Despite being so easy to make, these cookies look and taste like they took a lot of effort. They’re a perfect example of how you can create something impressive with minimal work. Chocolate chip cookies have that effect on people. Sometimes, looks could be deceiving.

Finally, the ability to make these cookies ahead of time is a game-changer. You can have the dough ready in your freezer, ensuring that you’re always just a few minutes away from enjoying fresh, homemade cookies.

I hope I gave you enough reason why you should give this recpe a try. Let’s bake up a batch of these delightful Rice Crispy Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies. Happy baking!

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup (112.5grams) unsalted Butter, at room temperature
• 1/2 cup (100 grams) Granulated White Sugar
• 1/3 cup (70 grams) firmly packed Light or Dark Brown Sugar
• 1 large Eggs (50 grams out of shell), at room temperature
• 1 teaspoon (4 grams) pure Vanilla Extract
• 1/2 tablespoon (12 grams) Honey (or light corn syrup, golden syrup, brown rice syrup, or liquid glucose) (optional)
• 1 cups (130 grams) All Purpose Flour
• 1 teaspoon (4 grams) Baking Soda
• 1/2 teaspoon (2 grams) fine kosher Salt
• 1 teaspoon (1 gram) instant Coffee powder or instant Espresso Powder (optional)
• 3/4 cups (65 grams) old-fashioned Rolled Oats
• 3/4 cups (127.5 grams) semi sweet or bittersweet Chocolate Chips
• 3/4 cups (25 grams) Crispy Rice Cereal

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper, or lightly butter or spray with a non stick vegetable cooking spray.
2. In the bowl of your electric stand mixer, fitted with the paddle attachment (or with a hand mixer), beat the butter until smooth. Add the sugars, vanilla extract, and honey, and beat until combined (about two minutes). Add the eggs, and beat until well combined. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and ground coffee (if using). Add the flour mixture to the creamed mixture and beat just until incorporated. Stir in the oats and chocolate chips, and then gently stir in the rice cereal. If the batter is really soft, cover and refrigerate until firm (about one hour).
4. For large cookies, take a scant 1/4 cup (45 grams) of batter (I use a cookie scoop), and place the cookies about 3 inches (7.5 cm) apart on the baking sheet. Flatten the cookies slightly with your fingers so they are about 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) thick. Bake the cookies for about 10 – 13 minutes or until golden brown around the edges but still soft in the centers.
   • For chewy cookies, slightly under bake. For crunchy cookies, bake a minute or two longer. Remove from oven and let the cookies cool a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling.
   • Can be stored in an airtight container for 3-4 days or they can be frozen.

Makes 12 – 15 large cookies
