Ingredients

• 1/2 cup butter
• 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1/4 cup white sugar
• 2 tablespoons raw sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup plain flour
• 1 cup oats (blended)
• 1 cup crispy rice cereal
• 2.7 ounces chopped chocolate bar with crispy rice
• 3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• Sea salt flakes for topping

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
2. Step 2: In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter and all sugars on medium-high speed for 3 to 4 minutes until light and fluffy.
3. Step 3: Add the egg and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture and mix on medium speed until fully combined.
4. Step 4: Blend the oats in a food processor or blender to create a mix of oat flour and small pieces. In a separate bowl, combine the blended oats, baking soda, salt, and flour.
5. Step 5: Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until a cohesive dough forms.
6. Step 6: Gently fold in the crispy rice cereal, chopped chocolate bar, and semisweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
7. Step 7: Using a ¼ cup scoop, shape the dough into balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets. Top each ball with extra chocolate pieces and sprinkle with sea salt flakes.
8. Step 8: Bake for 11 to 13 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the oven and optionally sprinkle with more salt. Let cookies cool slightly before serving.

Tips & Variations

• For extra crunch, toast the oats lightly before blending.
• Substitute the semisweet chips with white chocolate or butterscotch chips for a different flavor.
• If you don’t have a food processor, finely chop the oats with a knife to get a similar texture.
• Use flavored sea salt flakes, like smoked salt, to add an interesting twist.

Storage

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. To keep them fresh longer, refrigerate for up to 2 weeks. Reheat gently in a microwave for about 10 seconds to bring back their softness and warmth.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use old-fashioned oats instead of blended oats?

Yes, but blending the oats helps create a better texture by mixing fine oat flour with small pieces. If you use whole old-fashioned oats without blending, the cookies may be chewier and less uniform.

What chocolate bars work best for the chopped chocolate?

Chocolate bars that already contain crispy rice pieces are ideal as they add extra crunch and flavor. If unavailable, use your favorite chocolate bar and add extra crispy rice cereal.

Instructions

1. Prepare the Oven and Baking Sheets: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). While the oven is warming up, line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside for later use.
2. Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, combine the butter and all three sugars. Beat on medium-high speed for 3 to 4 minutes until the mixture is light and fluffy, which is essential for great cookie texture.
3. Add Wet Ingredients: Add the egg and vanilla extract to the creamed butter and sugar mixture. Mix at medium speed until fully combined and no streaks remain.
4. Prepare and Mix Dry Ingredients: Blend the oats in a food processor or blender to create a partial oat flour and chopped texture. Add the oats, flour, baking soda, and salt to the wet mixture. Mix until all ingredients form a cohesive dough.
5. Incorporate the Add-Ins: Gently fold in the crispy rice cereal, chopped chocolate bar with crispy rice, and semisweet chocolate chips, ensuring even distribution throughout the dough.
6. Shape and Top Cookies: Using a ¼ cup scoop, form large dough balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets. Top each with extra chopped chocolate and a sprinkle of sea salt flakes.
7. Bake and Finish: Bake the cookies for 11-13 minutes or until golden brown. Once baked, optionally sprinkle with additional sea salt. Let cool slightly before serving to enjoy the perfect texture and flavor combination.

Notes

• Use room temperature butter for easier creaming with the sugars.
• Blending oats adds unique texture and acts as a partial flour substitute.
• Sea salt flakes enhance the chocolate flavor and balance sweetness.
• Cookies will continue to firm up as they cool, so avoid overbaking.
• Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
