These rocky mountain cookies are unique and delicious- chewy, soft oatmeal chocolate chip cookie with crunchy Rice Krispies in every bite.

Such a delightfully simple cookie. But oh baby, are these ever worthy to grace the posts of Sugar Rush.

Think of a chewy, soft oatmeal chocolate chip cookie with light and crunchy Rice Krispies bubbling through every bite. I love the texture of these cookies.

Thick and soft, crunchy and chewy…and so very simple to throw together.

They won’t last long, I can promise you that.
