Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup, packed light brown sugar
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 3 cups quick-cooking oats
• 1 cup crisp rice cereal

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Then stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

Step 5

Fold in the quick-cooking oats and crisp rice cereal until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look set.

Step 8

Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve and enjoy your homemade Oatmeal Krispies with a glass of milk or a cup of tea!
