Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease baking sheets.

With an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla.

Sift in the flour, baking soda and salt and fold in. Add the cereal and chocolate chips. Stir to mix thoroughly. Drop spoonfuls of the dough 1-2-inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
