Instructions
- Set out butter and egg. Soften butter to room temperature until you are able to leave a light indentation with your finger, but not so softened that it is greasy/melted.
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Measure out all ingredients. If you aren't using a scale, use the spoon and sweep method to measure your flour. Fluff the flour first then gently add spoonfuls of flour to your measuring cup, using a straight edge knife/spatula to level the flour with the top of the cup.
- If your granola is in clusters simply break it up with your fingers or give it a medium-fine chop with a knife so you can get a little granola goodness in every bite!
- In a medium bowl, combine flour with baking soda, salt, and cinnamon and mix well.
- Using a stand mixer (or an electric mixer and a large mixing bowl) Cream softened butter together with both sugars. Beat until fluffy and well incorporated, approx. 2 minutes.
- Next beat in egg and vanilla on low speed until fully mixed.
- Add flour mixture and mix on low until just incorporated.
- Fold in granola, walnuts, and chocolate chips.
- Place dough in the freezer for 10 minutes. (I usually scoop it into a smaller bowl first)
- Once dough has had a little chill time, use a large 3 TBSP cookie scoop to place rounded scoops of dough onto the parchment paper lined cookie sheets, spaced 2 inches apart. Roll each scoop into a ball for even baking.
- Bake each tray one at a time using the center oven rack.
- Bake 11 minutes or until the edges just barely begin to turn golden brown and the center begins to set. Taking them out when not fully set ensures a tender, chewier center. The cookies will continue baking a little on the baking sheet.
- Allow to cool 5 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 develop that delicious chewy center. I won't tell if you sneak a warm cookie first though!
