Ingredients
Scale
Wet 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
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup plain flour
- 1 cup oats (blended)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Add-Ins
- 1 cup crispy rice cereal
- 2.7 ounces chopped chocolate bar with crispy rice
- 3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Topping
- Sea salt flakes for topping
Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
