Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter , softened (1 stick)
- ¼ cup light brown sugar (50 g)
- ¼ cup granulated sugar (50 g)
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup plus 2 tbsp all-purpose flour (135 g)
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ⅛ tsp salt
- 2 cups maple pecan granola (or favoite granola variety)
- ¼ cup dried cranberries (optional, see notes)
- ¼ cup Finely chopped pecans
- 1/4-1/2 cup semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate chips
- 1/8-1/4 tsp cinnamon (optional extra)
Instructions
- 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, salt, and cinnamon.
- 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 delicious chewy center along with crisp edges.
Notes
- Feel free to use your favorite variety whether it's homemade granola or your go-to store bought variety.
- Dried cranberries can be skipped or replaced with regular raisins, golden raisins, or extra chocolate chips. Pecans may be swapped for chopped walnuts if desired.
