Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (, softened (1 stick))
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar ((50 g))
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar ((50 g))
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup plus 2 TBSP all-purpose flour ((135 g))
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 2 cups maple pecan granola ((or favoite granola variety))
  • 1/4 cup dried cranberries ((optional, see notes))
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped pecans
  • 1/4-1/2 cup semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate chips
  • 1/8-1/4 tsp cinnamon ((optional extra))

Instruction

  • Set out butter to soften.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking/cookie sheets with parchment paper.
  • Measure out all ingredients. Combine flour with baking soda and salt.
  • Place softened butter in a large bowl with both sugars. Beat until fluffy and well incorporated.
  • Next beat in eggs and vanilla on low speed until fully mixed.
  • Add flour mixture and mix on low until just incorporated.
  • Fold in granola, craisins/raisins, pecans, and chocolate chips.
  • Use a large 3 TBSP cookie scoop to place rounded scoops of dough onto the parchment paper lined cookie sheets, spaced 2 inches apart.
  • Bake each tray one at a time on the center oven rack.
  • Bake 11-13 minutes or until the edges begin to turn golden brown and the center begins to set.
  • Allow to cool 1-2 minutes on the cookie sheet then remove with a metal spatula and transfer to a wire rack to fully cool. Enjoy once fully cooled so they have time to fully set and have that delicous chewy center along with crisp edges.
