Ingredients : 
1 cup firmly packed light
brown sugar  
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) butter, softened  
3/4 cup peanut butter  
1/2 cup granulated sugar  
2 large eggs  
1 teaspoon vanilla extract  
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour  
1 teaspoon baking soda  
2 cups crisp rice cereal

1. Preheat oven to 375F. Combine brown sugar, butter, peanut butter and 
granulated sugar in a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer set on medium-high 
speed until creamy, 1-2 minutes. Add eggs and vanilla; beat until well blended.

2. Add flour and baking soda to brown sugar mixture; beat on low speed until 
well combined. Stir in cereal with a spoon. Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls 
2 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheets.

1 minute. Remove cookies from baking sheets; cool completely on wire racks.
