Equipment

  • Kitchen Scale (optional)
  • 2-3 Baking Sheet
  • Cookie Portion Scoop

Ingredients

  • 1 cup granulated sugar 200g
  • ½ cup light brown sugar 107g, or use all dark brown sugar
  • ½ cup dark brown sugar 107g, or use all light brown sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter 226g, room temperature (2 sticks)
  • 1 cup canola oil 200g
  • 1 large egg 50g, lightly beaten
  • tsp pure vanilla extract 6g
  • cups all-purpose flour 420g
  • tsp kosher salt 5g
  • 1 tsp baking soda 6g
  • 1 cup Rice Krispies cereal 28g
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats 100g
  • ½ cup sweetened shredded coconut 43g
  • 12 oz. milk chocolate chips 340g, divided (1 package), Ghirardelli recommended
  • 11.5 oz. semi-sweet chocolate chips 326g, divided (1 package), Ghirardelli recommended
  • 10 oz. peanut butter baking chips 283g, divided (1 package)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F and position the oven rack in the middle position. Line 2-3 large baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the granulated sugar, brown sugar, butter, and oil together on medium speed for 3 minutes. Scrape down the sides after each minute. Add the egg and vanilla and beat for another 1 minute. Again, scrape down the sides.
    1 cup granulated sugar, ½ cup light brown sugar, ½ cup dark brown sugar, 1 cup unsalted butter, 1 cup canola oil, 1 large egg, 1½ tsp pure vanilla extract
  • While the sugar mixture is mixing, whisk the flour, salt, and baking soda together in a large bowl.
    3½ cups all-purpose flour, 1½ tsp kosher salt, 1 tsp baking soda
  • Turn off the mixer and add the flour mixture. Turn the mixer to low and mix just until no flour is visible. Do not over-mix or the cookies won’t be as tender.
  • Add the Rice Krispies, oats, coconut, and ¾ of the chocolate chips and peanut butter chips. Mix just until incorporated.
    1 cup Rice Krispies cereal, 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats, ½ cup sweetened shredded coconut, 12 oz. milk chocolate chips, 11.5 oz. semi-sweet chocolate chips, 10 oz. peanut butter baking chips
  • At this point, the dough can be placed in an airtight container and refrigerated up to 2 days. If refrigerating, remove the dough from the fridge 1 hour prior to using.
  • When ready to bake, use a 2-inch diameter scoop (2 tbsp size) to scoop the batter for each cookie. Place 2-3 inches apart on a baking sheet.
  • Top cookies with the remaining ¼ chocolate and peanut butter chips.
  • Bake 14-16 minutes, rotating the cookie sheet after 7 minutes.
  • Transfer cookies to a cooling rack and repeat the baking process until all cookies are baked.

Notes

  • If you don't have a stand mixer, you can mix the dough by hand in a large bowl.
  • To bake another day, refrigerate the dough for up to 2 days. Take it out of the fridge 1 hour before baking. 
  • Don't use instant or steel-cut oats as they won't give the cookies the right texture.
  • Use M&Ms, butterscotch chips, mini marshmallows, or toasted nuts or seeds instead of the add-ins I've listed.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to 1 month.
