Firecracker Rice Krispie Cookies
Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 cup oatmeal
1/2 cup butter flavored Crisco
1/2 cup butter
¾ cup granulated sugar
¾ cup packed brown sugar
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 eggs whites
1 cup dark chocolate chips
1 cup red, white, blue M&Ms
1 cups Red, White, Blue Rice Krispies plus more for tops of cookies
Directions
Pre-heat oven to 375. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine flour, salt, baking soda and oatmeal.
In a separate large bowl, cream together Crisco, butter, and sugars until light and fluffy. Mix in the vanilla and eggs until well combined.
Gently fold in the chocolate chips, M&Ms, and Rice Krispies with a spatula.
Roll dough into 1.5 tbsp balls. Gently press some extra Rice Krispies into the tops of cookies {you may need to flatten slightly}. Bake for 7-9 minutes, until lightly golden on the edges.
Cool 5 minutes on the cookie sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
