Instructions
Step 1: Preheat & Prepare Baking Sheets
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
Step 2: Cream Butter & Sugars
- In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer, beat together butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and turbinado sugar on medium-high speed until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes).
Step 3: Add Wet Ingredients
- Add egg and vanilla extract, then mix until fully incorporated.
Step 4: Prepare the Dry Ingredients
- In a food processor or blender, pulse the oats a few times to create a mix of oat flour and slightly larger oat pieces.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, pulsed oats, baking soda, and salt.
Step 5: Combine the Dough
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
- Fold in Rice Krispie cereal, chopped Nestle Crunch Bar, and semi-sweet chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon.
Step 6: Scoop & Shape Cookies
- Using a ¼ cup cookie scoop, portion the dough into large balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets.
- Press a few extra pieces of chocolate and Rice Krispies on top for a bakery-style look.
- Sprinkle a light pinch of flaked sea salt on top.
Step 7: Bake the Cookies
- Bake in the preheated oven for 11-13 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers are still soft.
- Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle a little extra sea salt on top if desired.
Step 8: Cool & Serve
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
Notes
- For precise measurements, use a kitchen scale to weigh your flour instead of using measuring cups.
- If your cookies spread too much, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
- Using parchment paper helps prevent over-spreading and makes for easy cleanup!
