Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (240 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (227 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup (150 g) granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup packed (165 g) brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups (270 g) white chocolate chips or chunks
  • 2 cups (about 60 g) rice cereal
  • Optional: ½ cup chopped nuts (macadamias or pecans)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract until well combined.
  5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients in batches, mixing on low speed or folding with a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Gently fold in the white chocolate chips or chunks and rice cereal, keeping the cereal as intact as possible.
  7. Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop rounded spoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are golden but centers still look slightly soft.
  9. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Chill the dough for 20 minutes before baking to prevent spreading. Fold rice cereal gently to keep crunch. Watch baking time closely to avoid overbaking. Store in airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
