Kaki Mochi Chocolate Chip Cookies

While looking through a fairly old cookbook, I found a recipe for Kaki Mochi Chocolate Chip Cookies, but one of the ingredients was Rice Krispies, which I didn't have on hand.  I searched online and found a recipe on Foodland's website that didn't require the Rice Krispies, so I used that recipe instead, with a few adjustments.

I enjoyed the cookies and the sweet and salty combination. All of my kids were a little shocked to see kaki mochi in the cookies, and although they ate the cookies, two of them said they'd rather have the cookies without the kaki mochi.
