Ingredients for Rice Bubble Cookies

To make these cookies you will need:

125 grams of butter
3/4 cup sugar
1 egg
2 cups rice puffs (note that in the original recipe the rice puffs are called Rice Puffs, and if you’re not in Australia you may also know them as Rice Krispies)
1 cup SR flour (or 1 cup plain/all-purpose flour + 2 teaspoons baking powder).

How to make rice bubble cookies

Prepare by preheating the oven to moderate (180 degrees Celsius, convection), grease some baking sheets and measure out your ingredients.

Let us begin.

You really only need 10 minutes max to have these in the oven.

Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

Add the lightly beaten egg and beat again until combined.

Fold in the rice bubbles, followed by the sifted flour.

Roll tablespoons of the mixture into balls and place on greased baking sheets, leaving room to spread.

Bake for 10-12 minutes.

Remove from the oven and let cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Variation Ideas

Not only are Rice Bubble Biscuits so delicious, they are extremely versatile and you can create your own little version of them.
