Cocoa Krispie Cookies

I spied some Cocoa Krispies in the cupboard and swapped them out for the Rice Krispies in this cookie recipe. The result was a chocolatey, crunchy cookie, made even better with the addition of mini chocolate chips!

• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1/2 cup light brown sugar
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups Cocoa Krispies
• 1 cup mini chocolate chips

1. Preheat oven to 350º. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, beat butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt. Add to the butter mixture until just incorporated.
4. Fold the cereal and chocolate chips in with a rubber spatula.
5. Drop by tablespoons 2″ apart on the baking sheet and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, checking after 8.
6. Makes 2 1/2 dozen cookies.
