Ingredients
  

3 cups Rice Krispies cereal

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1/2 cup mini marshmallows (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth. Incorporate the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.

      Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.

        Add Rice Krispies: Gently fold in the Rice Krispies cereal, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

          Incorporate Chocolate Chips: Add the chocolate chips (and mini marshmallows if using) to the mixture, folding them in until they are evenly mixed.

            Scoop Dough: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, allowing enough space between each cookie for spreading.

              Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.

                Cool: Once baked, remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

                  Enjoy: Once cooled, enjoy your Crunchy Delight Rice Krispie Cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
