Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Weet-Bix biscuits (crumbled)
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar (packed)
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 cup Chopped pecans
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 0.25 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the Weet-Bix biscuits in a bowl and crumble them into small pieces using your hands or the back of a spoon.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. You can use an electric mixer or a wooden spoon for this step.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the crumbled Weet-Bix, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture and mix until just combined. Add the milk to loosen the dough, if needed.
Fold in the chopped pecans and chocolate chips (if using).
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place the balls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches (5 cm) between each cookie. Flatten slightly with the back of a fork or your palm.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the cookies are set.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container for up to a week. Enjoy!
