Ingredients

• 113 grams unsalted butter
• 180 grams peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
• 100 grams granulated sugar
• 100 grams light brown sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 130 grams all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 60 grams crisped rice cereal

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a large bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This will take about 2-3 minutes using a hand mixer or stand mixer with a paddle attachment.

Step 3

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, beating until fully incorporated.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Using a spatula, gently fold in the crisped rice cereal until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 7

Scoop 1.5-tablespoon portions of dough (or use a medium cookie scoop) and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 5 cm (2 inches) apart.

Step 8

Using the tines of a fork, gently flatten each cookie ball in a crisscross pattern.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked, but they will firm up as they cool.

Step 10

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Enjoy your Peanut Butter Crispy Cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
