Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the flour, salt, and Tabasco sauce to the butter and cheese mixture. Stir until the ingredients are thoroughly mixed. The addition of Tabasco sauce will give a subtle kick, balancing the richness of the cheese.
-
Mix in Rice Krispies: Gently fold in the Rice Krispies cereal. Ensure the cereal is evenly distributed throughout the dough, giving the mixture a delightful crunch.
-
Form the Krispies: Using a teaspoon, scoop out small amounts of dough and roll them into tiny balls. Place these dough balls on an ungreased cookie sheet. Use a fork to press each ball down slightly, flattening them to about 1/4 inch thick.
-
Bake to Perfection: Bake the cookies in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 10 to 12 minutes, or until they are lightly golden and crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent over-baking.
-
Cool and Store: Once baked, transfer the Krispies to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps them maintain their crunch. Store the cooled Krispies in an airtight container to keep them fresh and crisp.
