Time 1h

Yield 36 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup (2 sticks) salted butter, softened
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon peanut butter
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 heaping teaspoons instant coffee granules
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup chocolate candies, such as M and Ms
1 cup rice cereal, such as Rice Krispies
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat.
  • In the bowl of a mixer, cream the butter together with the brown sugar and granulated sugar until it's nice and combined. Add the eggs, peanut butter and vanilla and beat until smooth, scraping the bowl if necessary to make sure everything is incorporated.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the flour, coffee granules, baking soda and salt. Stir together, then add it to the mixer in 3 increments, mixing on low until it's totally incorporated. Scrape the bowl and beat for a few more seconds. Stir in the chocolate candies, rice cereal and pecans (if using) by hand.
  • With an ice cream scoop, scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Refrigerate the scooped cookies for 15 minutes, then bake until golden brown, 9 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack and repeat with the remaining dough.

  • Use room temperature ingredients: This will help your ingredients combine more easily and create a smoother batter or dough.

  • Bake your cookies at the right temperature: The temperature of your oven will affect the texture and flavor of your cookies. Be sure to preheat your oven to the correct temperature before baking.
  • Let your cookies cool completely before storing them: This will help them to keep their shape and flavor.
