Description

Your inner child will thank you.

Ingredients

  • 1-¾ cup All-purpose Flour
  • ¼ teaspoons Kosher Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1 cup Unsalted Butter, Room Temperature
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 2 whole Eggs
  • ½ teaspoons Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 1-½ cup Chocolate Chips
  • ½ cups Peanut Butter Chips
  • 8 cups Cocoa Krispie Cereal, Slightly Crushed
  • 1 Tablespoon Whipping Cream

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 F. Spray a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.

In a large bowl, combine combine flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.

In another large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar. Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the sugar/butter mixture. In thirds, gently combine the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Fold in 1/2 cup of the chocolate and peanut butter chips and 2 cups of Cocoa Krispies.

Put the rest of the crushed cereal into a shallow bowl. Drop tablespoon-sized scoops of the dough into the remainder of the Cocoa Krispies, roll to coat and place on the baking sheet. Repeat until you’ve used all of the dough, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie. Bake for about 7 to 10 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and allow to cool before coating them with ganache.

To make the ganache, melt the remaining 1 cup chocolate chips and cream in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until smooth and remove from heat. Take a cookie and dip half of it into the ganache. Place cookie on a wire rack to set before eating.

I made these…and my inner child did indeed thank me! The crisp texture of the cookies and the silky ganache were perfect complements, and they were a huge hit with my husband and his billiards buddies.

One note: I should have read the recipe fully before measuring out the ingredients – I didn’t realize that most of the cocoa krispies were for the coating, and wound up with a lot of extra crushed krispies (I think I only used four cups total – two for the batter and two for the coating). Of course a bowl of spare cocoa krispies is a good kind of problem to have – just thought I’d mention it, so others aren’t deterred from giving this a whirl if they don’t have the full amount on hand. Thanks for the clever idea!
