Cookies with puffed rice were created partly to make somewhat different cookies and partly because I needed to use up some leftover chocolate puffed rice.
Obviously, you can choose whether to use chocolate puffed rice like I did, or plain white puffed rice.
Apart from needing to use up some puffed rice, I particularly liked the chocolate one, partly because of the color on the cookies, partly because I like the chocolate flavor.
The puffed rice is not very uniform on the cookies because when they are made, they are round and well-formed, but then they spread a bit during baking, which is exactly how it should be.
So, have I piqued your curiosity at least a little? Then you must try my recipe!
If you make any of my recipes, send me the photos, and I will publish them on my page with your name.

Ingredients for making Cookies with Puffed Rice
- 3.5 oz Butter
- 3.2 oz Sugar
- 1 Medium egg
- 4.9 oz All-purpose flour
- 2.5 oz Chocolate puffed rice (or plain white)
Preparation of Cookies with Puffed Rice
In a stand mixer, place the softened butter with the sugar and work to get a cream, then add the egg and flour and mix well.
Once you have a homogeneous mixture, create not-too-large balls using two spoons and dip them one by one in a small bowl with the puffed rice, rolling them around and then shaping them with your hands
placing them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake in a preheated oven at 356°F for about 12-13 minutes, checking the cooking.
