Chocolate Chip Cookies with a Crunch

 Megan's Corner

I've already told you that I am always hunting for new cookie recipes and this is one that I'm glad I tried out. I must confess, most of the cookie dough didn't make it into the oven...I loved it so much that I just scooped it into balls and threw them in my freezer to munch on when I get a craving. Actually I don't even need a craving...to eat just, um, pretty much whenever I pass by the freezer. Now don't YOU go doing that...for all I know, you're going to end up getting salmonella from eating raw eggs and then you're going to blame me and curse my name forever. But in my house, my husband and I enjoy our frozen cookie dough. These cookies are crunchy so I like to under cook them a little bit and then devour them with milk.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups rice krispies
1 cup chocolate chips

In a small bowl whisk together flour, baking soda and salt. Cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla. Beat well. Add flour mixture and mix just until blended. Stir in rice krispies and chocolate chips. Using a big 1/4 cup scoop - scoop and place on a baking sheet.

Bake at 375 for 9-11 minutes.
