Equipment

  • Cooking Spray
  • Cooking/Baking Sheets
  • Bowl
  • Spatula
  • Electric Mixer
  • Measuring Spoon

Ingredients
  

  • ½ tsp Baking Soda: Baking soda will help in the crispiness.
  • ¼ tsp Baking Powder: Do not put too much baking powder or you will not get the right moisture.
  • ½ cup Butter: You can use both salted and unsalted butter. More will be discussed later.
  • ½ cup White Sugar: You can increase a small amount
  • ½ cup Brown Sugar: Some brown sugar will go along with the white sugar to help in texture.
  • 1 Egg
  • ½ tsp Vanilla: To help in sweet flavor.
  • 1 cup Rice Krispies: To add crunch to the cookies.
  • 1 cup Oats: It will also make the cookies crispy.
  • ½ cup Shredded Coconut: It will add a coconutty crunch to the cookies.
  • 1 Crunch Bar: For extra crispiness

Instructions
 

  • Step 1: Ready the Oven to Bake - The oven needs to be in the right environment before baking the cookies. You should preheat the oven to a certain temperature. Before starting anything, preheat the oven to 375°F.
  • Step 2: Oil Spray the Sheets - Take 2 baking sheets and oil coat the sheets with the cooking spray. Here you will put the cookie dough and you do not want the sheets to stick. You can also give the sheets a light oil brush if you do not have the cooking spray.
  • Step 3: Prepare the Dry Mix - After readying the pre-baking environment, it is time to start the main recipe. Prepare all the dry ingredients; flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Stir it with a spoon or spatula until the items fully combined. Don’t add the sugar here even if it’s a dry item. Sugar will be added to the wet ingredients.
  • Step 4: Blend the Wet Ingredients - After preparing the dry items, toss the butter into the mixer. Beat the butter until it's soft and fluffy. Add the sweeteners (white sugar and brown sugar) and beat it again. When these are blended well, add eggs and vanilla to the mixer. Blend it again until it has a smooth texture.
  • Step 5: Mix the Dough -Take the wet mix from the mixer and add bit by bit to the dry mix. Remember not to make clumps of flour. Avoid them by mixing them with a spatula. Once the dough is made, add the cereals, oats, broken crunch bars, and coconuts to the dough.
  • Step 6: Put the Dough on the Sheets - Take a measuring spoon and add cookie dough part by part to the baking sheets. Make sure to leave enough space in between the cookies. Remember, the cookies will get bigger at the time of baking. So it is better not to put too much cookie dough on one sheet. Keep about 2” of gap surrounding them.
  • Step 7: Bake the Cookies -As the setup is ready, put the sheets inside the oven. Bake for 12 minutes. You can see when the cookies turn brown. That’s when you know your cookies are ready.
  • Step 8: Wait to Cool Down- After baking, take out the sheets from the oven. Make sure to wear oven mitts or you will burn your hands. Check for the cookie consistency by breaking one of them.
  • Step 9: Serve and Enjoy -Your cookies are ready! Taste the delights and keep some for your kids too. You can store the cookies in an airtight container.
