This week I got a serious craving for some peanut butter cookies…
I hesitate to make peanut butter cookies because Owen is allergic to peanut butter AND he’s kind of a cookie monster. Wait…I’m a cookie monster too. Together, the two of us can’t be stopped. But I just don’t think it’s very nice to make cookies he can’t even eat. Not nice at all.
But I selfishly satisfied my craving then hid them until some friends came over to help get rid of them. Not to worry, Owen got to eat some Oreos in the meantime.
These peanut butter cookies are loaded with Rice Krispies, giving you that snap, crackly pop in every bite of peanut buttery goodness. Thin, chewy and crispy all in the same cookie.
Craving satisfied.

These sound lovely!
Have some in the oven now…can’t wait
I hope you love them!
I could go for some crispy goodness!! I made your Turkey Meatloaf last night! YUM! I will be doing a repeat. I had a recipe for meatloaf, but it is on the backburner!
i’ve always been meanign to try rice krispies in cookies, kristy! i can’t wait to try it out. these look SO good. i’m a peanut butter freak!
I haven’t put krispies in a cookie in a looooog time. Too long. I love these! So pretty too.
Pinned it! They sound delicious.
Looks very good.
Kristy – it is crazy how similar our taste in food is =), so yesterday I was craving peanut butter cookies like mad and bam here they are. Just like last week. These look incredible and I love how they have rice krispies for a little crunch, yumo!
Too funny! Seriously, how did we not know each other (in the food blog world) sooner!
These stopped me in my tracks. I am seriously lamenting the lack of rice krispies in my pantry right now. Can’t wait to try it!
I have a few rice krispies hanging out in my pantry so i’m thinking these need to happen!
Saved this! I bet the texture is amazing.
Chilling in the fridge right now. Can’t wait to bake them up.

Just saw these on TS – and was like wow, I need these! I love PB and fun addition with the rice krispies!
Those cookies look wonderful, so soft and big. I love the idea of adding Rice Krispies. I am allergic to chocolate and it drives me nuts when one of my parents eats it. They’re like “but I like chocolate” and I’m like “so do I.” Luckily there are many other yummy things out there to eat. Like these 🙂
So glad you can eat these and you’re not allergic!! I’m sure me eating peanut butter in front of my kid is going to drive him nuts some day too! I’m really hoping he grows out of it!! Thanks for stopping by Laura!
I’ve had cornflakes in cookies, but not Rice Krispies, although I do love Rice Krispies. My little one, who is now 5, was suspected to have a peanut allergy, but we found out he isn’t allergic to nuts afterall. However, from not having them, he is not the biggest fan of the texture of regular peanut butter. He does LOVE sweets though, so I know he will love these cookies 🙂

cant wait to try these
Can you replace the PB with Wow butter? Will it be the same consistency?
I’m not sure what Wow butter is and have never used it in baking, so I’m not sure if it will turn out? Sorry!
With my new daily freedom I have spent hours looking at blogs and recipes. I have pinned this to my board and can’t wait for the summer. I have to boys that love to get messy in the kitchen. Can’t wait til school is over.
For Owen:
I frequently substitute almond butter for peanut butter. I think any seed or nut butter would work just. fine.
Thanks Sandy! I’ll give it a try!
I was wondering if you could replace the Rice Krispies with something else or not just add them. Please let me know as soon as possible. Thanks!
You could probably not add them or substitute with another favorite cereal!
How many cookies does the recipe make?
I just made this wonderfully delicious cookie! Never make peanut butter cookies without Krispies again! These are the bomb!
I made these today with my 2 year old and they are fantastic!!! The recipe is very forgiving as our measurements were less than perfect and I’m not sure all the egg actually made it into the bowl but they still turned out exactly like the picture!
My husband’s new favorite cookie! Thanks so much for sharing this recipe! Love the crunch of Rice Krispies.
