Ingredients

• 2 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  
  

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
  
  

• ½ tsp baking soda
  
  

• ¼–½ tsp salt (¼ tsp in intro, ½ in list—adjust to taste)
  
  

• ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  
  

• ½ cup brown sugar, packed
  
  

• ¼ cup granulated sugar
  
  

• 1 large egg
  
  

• 1 tsp vanilla extract
  
  

• 1 cup semi‑sweet chocolate chips
  
  

• ½ cup mini marshmallows (optional)
  
  

Directions

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

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
   
   

3. In a large bowl, cream butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy (about 2–3 minutes).
   
   

4. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.
   
   

5. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just combined—do not overmix. 

6. Fold in Rice Krispies, chocolate chips, and mini marshmallows, gently to preserve crunch.
   
   

7. Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto prepared sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart. Optionally press a few extra chocolate chips on top for visual appeal.
   
   

8. Bake 10–12 minutes, until edges are lightly golden and centers look slightly underbaked (they’ll set while cooling).
   
   

9. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
