Chocolate Krispy Cookies
Ingredients:
-
2 cups plus 2 tablespoons flour
-
3/4 cups unsweetened cocoa powder (we used Trader Joe’s brand)
-
1 teaspoon baking soda
-
1/2 teaspoon salt
-
2 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature
-
2 cups granulated sugar
-
2 large eggs
-
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
-
2 cups Kellogg’s Cocoa Krispies cereal
Directions:
In a bowl whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt and set aside. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, place the butter and sugar and mix on medium speed until light and fluffy. Reduce the speed to low and add the eggs, one at a time, and then the vanilla. Slowly add half the flour mixture and mix. Add in the second half of the flour mixture and blend until just combined.
Place a large piece of parchment or wax paper on a work surface. Roll the dough into a ball and place in a re-sealable plastic bag. Chill for 1-2 hours until firm.
Preheat oven to 350°. Spray baking sheets with non-stick spray or use parchment paper and set aside. Place the Cocoa Krispies cereal in a bowl and set aside. Use a small cookie scoop or a spoon to make a 1” ball shape. Roll the ball in the cereal on three sides. Place the each ball on the baking sheet, dough side down, leaving 2” of space. These cookies will spread.
Bake for 10 minutes or until set. Remove from the oven and cool for 10 minutes on a wire rack. Enjoy! This recipe makes approximately 3 dozen cookies.
