I love cereal based cookies. Salty-sweet, crunchy goodness! I was excited to add a new recipe to my cookies files and this one is a winner! Rice Krispies, coconut, and oatmeal! I used half whole wheat flour for a little extra nutrition. They are almost gone already, so the taste test was successful!
This recipe is pretty straight forward; mix all the dry ingredients in a big bowl. Then in a medium bowl, melt your coconut oil and add all the wet ingredients and cream it together. When that’s well blended, pour it into the dry ingredients bowl and combine.
Then, scoop balls of dough onto a cookie sheet with a small cookie scoop. I use a 1.7″ trigger scoop and I love it. I got 58 cookies from his recipe with the scoop.
Back for about 12 minute, until JUST set and the bottom edge is just browned. Then let them sit on the sheet after you take them out and they’ll finish cooking. Let them cool the rest of the way on a cooling rack.
The coconut oil is great in cookies because it lets them set nicely while still having a nice squishy center.
I don’t do any add ins in mine, but you can totally throw some chocolate chips in there if you want. What is your favorite way to eat these cookies? Let me know in the comments!
