How to Make Crispy Rice Drop Cookies

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, ¾ cup granulated sugar, and ¾ cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, ½ teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 teaspoon baking powder.
  4. Add 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  5. Gradually add 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Gently fold in 3 cups puffed rice cereal (or puffed brown rice).
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 14-16 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set. Keep a close eye on them towards the end of baking time.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
