Crispy, chewy, and irresistibly sweet, these homemade Oatmeal Krispies cookies are the perfect treat for any occasion! Packed with buttery goodness and the nutty flavor of quick-cooking oats, this recipe gets a delightful twist from the addition of crisp rice cereal, which brings a light and airy crunch to every bite. Easy to make in under 30 minutes, these cookies combine pantry staples like brown sugar, vanilla, and a pinch of salt to create a perfectly balanced dessert or snack. Ideal for sharing (or not!), Oatmeal Krispies pair beautifully with a glass of milk or a warm cup of tea. Whether you're baking for a family gathering or simply craving a cozy indulgence, this recipe delivers a comforting classic with a crispy spin.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
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.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Then stir in the vanilla extract.
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.
Fold in the quick-cooking oats and crisp rice cereal until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
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.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look set.
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.
Serve and enjoy your homemade Oatmeal Krispies with a glass of milk or a cup of tea!
