Sugar cookie meets Coconut Rice Krispie Treat in this delectable tender-crisp cookie.
Share:
Ingredients
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 cup shortening (Crisco)
- 2 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup coconut shredded
- 2 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- ¼ cup white sugar (optional, for finishing cookies before baking)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Add 1 cup brown sugar, 1 cup white sugar, and 1 cup shortening to a mixing bowl. Beat with a hand mixer until incorporated.
- Add 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Beat with a hand mixer until incorporated.
- Combine 2 cups flour, ½ teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1 teaspoon baking soda to a separate bowl.
- Add the flour mixture to the mixing bowl, a bit at a time, beating after each addition until completely incorporated. I add about ⅓ of the flour mixture at one time.
- Add 1 cup of shredded coconut and 2 cups of Rice Krispies cereal. Stir with a spoon until just combined.
- Use a cookie scoop to scoop into evenly sized balls.
- Add ¼ cup of white sugar to a bowl. Dip each cookie ball into the sugar and put on a baking sheet. Using a drinking glass, slightly flatten the sugar-dipped cookies. Repeat until the baking sheet is full.
- Put 9-12 cookie balls to a cookie sheet, evenly spaced.
- Bake for 9-10 minutes. But seriously, check them at 9 minutes!
- Remove from oven, let sit for 30-45 seconds, then transfer to a cooling rack.
- Repeat with remaining cookie dough. Makes 48 cookies.

Notes
- For best results, devour these Rice Krispie cookies within 1 week (7 days). You can also freeze them; I recommend using them within 3-6 months.
- Put a slice of bread in the container or bag to prevent the cookies from hardening and keep 'em nice and moist. It really works! The slice of bread will be a casualty (or become destined for croutons) but keeping your cookies textually perfect is worth the sacrifice.
