Chex Mix Chocolate Chip Cookies
Cravings by Chrissy Teigen
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
3/4 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups bittersweet chocolate chips
1 cup classic Chex Mix, plus more for topping
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, and baking soda. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl (use either a stand mixer or a hand mixer), beat the butter with the brown and white sugar on medium-high speed until it's light and fluffy (will take about 2 to 3 minutes). Stop the mixer and scrape down the sides of the bowl if needed.
- Reduce the speed to low. Beat in the eggs and vanilla until just combined, stopping the mixer and scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Slowly add the flour mixture, beating until just incorporated. Reduce the speed to low, then add the chocolate chips and 3/4 cup of the Chex mix until just incorporated. (Note: I added a little more than a full cup of Chex Mix because 3/4 cup just didn't seem like enough for all the dough, and it worked fine.)
- Using 3 tablespoons of dough at a time, roll the dough into balls. Place the balls onto your lined baking sheets about 2 1/2 to 3 inches apart. Using the palm of your hand and/or fingers, gently press the cookies into 2-inch discs. Crush some more Chex mix on top of the cookies and gently press it in. (Note: 3 tablespoons of dough made HUGE cookies and lessened the amount I was able to make, so I suggest using 2 tablespoons of dough per ball.)
- Bake until the edges are slightly brown but the center is still soft, about 11 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and cool completely. (Note: Stick to the 11-minute mark on these. They seemed a little too soft in the middle still and I left one tray in for a few minutes longer, and they turned too brown and hardened very quickly.)
