Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour (heat-treated for safety)
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup (50g) light brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons milk (whole or 2%)
  • 1/3 cup (60g) mini chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup (15g) crispy rice cereal
  • Pinch of flaky sea salt (optional)
  • Parchment paper or plastic wrap (for rolling)
  • Drizzle of caramel or melted chocolate for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat-treat the flour by spreading it on a baking sheet and baking at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes. Let it cool completely.
  2. In a medium bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using an electric mixer or sturdy spoon until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Stir in the vanilla extract and milk until combined.
  4. Gradually add the cooled, heat-treated flour and salt to the wet mixture. Mix until just combined; dough should hold together but not be sticky.
  5. Fold in the crispy rice cereal and mini chocolate chips gently to keep their crunch.
  6. Place a large piece of parchment paper or plastic wrap on your work surface. Transfer the cookie dough mixture onto it and shape into a log approximately 2 inches (5 cm) in diameter. Wrap tightly and chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
  7. Once chilled, unwrap and use a sharp knife to cut the log into 1/2-inch (1.25 cm) thick slices.
  8. Arrange slices on a serving platter, sprinkle with flaky sea salt if desired, and drizzle with caramel or melted chocolate for extra flair.

Notes

Heat-treating the flour is essential for safe raw consumption. Use softened butter for best texture. Chill the dough log well before slicing to maintain shape. Use a sharp knife and wipe blade between cuts for clean slices. Experiment with fillings like nuts, dried fruit, or different cereals. Keep dough chilled if working in a warm kitchen.
