Ingredients

• 115 grams unsalted butter
• 100 grams granulated sugar
• 50 grams light brown sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 150 grams all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 90 grams crunchy rice cereal
• 50 grams dried cranberries
• 50 grams dried apricots, chopped
• 50 grams mini chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl and mix until well combined.

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, stirring until just combined.

Step 6

Gently fold in the crunchy rice cereal, dried cranberries, chopped dried apricots, and mini chocolate chips (if using).

Step 7

Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Avoid overbaking to keep the centers soft.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Serve and enjoy your Fruity Cookie Crispies! Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
