Rice Krispies Cereal is one of the best cereals ever because there are so many ways to use the cereal as a dessert!! I decided to use them in cookies, and they gave such a beautiful and wonderful flavor and texture! Can you name more ways to use rice krispies cereal as a dessert? List them below!
Tips and Tricks for Making These Rice Krispies Cookies:
- If you don't have parchment paper or a nonstick cookie sheet, brush your cookie sheet with melted butter to prevent the cookies from sticking.
- If you have frozen cookie dough, let it stay at room temperature for at least an hour for easier handling of the dough.
- You can add minced dried fruits for a more delicious and interesting texture. Just make sure not to add too much as it will cause the cookies to break off while baking.
- Don't forget to sift your dry ingredients. You wouldn't want flour lumps in your cookies 🙂

Stacey says
My rice Krispies tasted soggy and gummy after being baked
Lainey says
Hi Stacy! Thank you for trying out this recipe. So far this recipe works with me but in your case, please try to use another brand of butter or reduce the amount so that it will not taste soggy. Also, please be sure that the marshmallows are not old so that it will not become gummy. Please let me know how it goes when you make this again. Sorry for the late response.
Nichelle Walton says
I am allergic to oats. Can the recipe work without them and adding more cereal?
Lainey says
Hi Nichelle,
Yes, it works! You may also add minced dried fruits for a more interesting texture. Just make sure not to add too much. Please let me know how it goes. Thank you for visiting my blog!
Devon says
When are the marshmallows added?
Lainey says
Hi Devon, good catch! You can add the marshmallows together with the chocolate chips. Please see the updated recipe card. Thank you for visiting my blog!
Alexandra says
can I make these without the egg?
Wanda says
I was wondering if the oats could be left out
Lisa Diann says
We just pulled them out of the oven and tasted them. We had to make a few substitutions. Chocolate chips and marshmallows were changed to sweetened coconut and chopped hazelnuts. Sometimes, you have to use what is in the cupoard. They were still phenomenal.
Lainey says
Yes, that's right. You can make some tweaks or use alternatives, whichever is available and suits your taste. I'm sorry for the late response, but thank you for making this recipe, Lisa. I appreciate it! 🙂
Pam says

Lainey says
