3 cups crisp rice cereal

Tips:

  • For the best results, use high-quality chocolate chips. Semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips work well.
  • If you don't have chocolate chips, you can use chopped chocolate bars or even chocolate sprinkles.
  • Be sure to measure your ingredients carefully. Too much flour will make the cookies dry and crumbly, while too much butter will make them greasy.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will develop the gluten in the flour, which will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. This will prevent them from sticking to the pan and make them easy to remove.
  • Let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack. This will help them set and prevent them from falling apart.

Conclusion:

Dish Pan Cookies are a classic American cookie that are easy to make and loved by people of all ages. With their simple ingredients and delicious flavor, they are a perfect treat for any occasion. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy dessert or a fun activity to do with the kids, Dish Pan Cookies are the perfect choice.
