How to Make Crunchy Chocolate Cookies

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 ½ cups rolled oats, 1 cup all-purpose flour, ½ cup brown sugar, ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt. Mix thoroughly.
  3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together 2 large egg whites, ¼ cup light corn syrup, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until light and frothy.
  4. Gently fold the egg white mixture into the dry ingredients until just combined. The dough will be thick.
  5. Stir in 1 cup Rice Krispies cereal.
  6. Using a spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
  7. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are set and the cookies are lightly golden. Do not overbake!
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
