Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 whole egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups Rice Krispie cereal
  • 1 cup shredded coconut
  • 1 cup milk chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray with nonstick spray.

  2. 2

    Add butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer, or a large mixing bowl if you’re using an electric mixer. Cream together on medium speed for 2-3 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add egg, vanilla, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to the creamed butter and mix until incorporated. Scrape down the bowl if needed.

  4. 4

    Add flour and shredded coconut to the cookie dough. Mix only until the flour mixture is combined, being careful not to overmix.

  5. 5

    Stir in Rice Krispies and chocolate chips until they’re mixed in. Be gentle so the Rice Krispies don’t get smashed.

  6. 6

    Scoop cookies using a two-tablespoon-sized cookie scoop, or medium cookie scoop, and set them on the prepared baking sheet.

  7. 7

    Bake cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes. Be careful not to overbake the cookies. They should be golden brown and a little underset in the middle. Leave the cookies on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes after removing them from the oven. They’ll continue to bake while on the cookie sheet. Remove to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
