Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 piece Large egg
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Granola (store-bought or homemade)
- 0.75 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, or pecans, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes using a hand or stand mixer.
Add the vanilla extract and egg to the bowl, and beat until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until incorporated. Avoid overmixing.
Fold in the granola, chocolate chips, and chopped nuts (if using) using a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look set but still soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your Granola Chocolate Chip Cookies with a glass of milk or a cup of coffee!
