Peanut Butter Puffed Rice Cookies

Peanut butter puffed rice cookies is a recipe I’ve had for years and completely forgot about until I was looking in my recipe folder for something else. The cereal adds a nice crunchiness to the cookie, and they only take 10 minutes to bake!

• 1/2 cup butter, room temperature
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup light brown sugar
• 1/2 cup peanut butter
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 cup flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 cups puffed rice cereal
• 3/4 cup chocolate chips

1. Preheat oven to 350º, line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Cream butter and sugars, add peanut butter then egg and vanilla.
3. In a small bowl, whisk flour with baking soda and salt. Add to butter/sugar mixture.
4. Stir in puffed rice and chocolate chips.
5. Drop by tablespoon and bake for 9 to 10 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack. Makes 3 dozen cookies.
