Ingredients
- 12 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature (170 grams)
- ½ cup brown sugar (100 grams)
- ½ cup granulated sugar (100 grams)
- 1 large large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (260 grams)
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- 1 ⅓ cup loose granola (not chunky) (140 grams)
- 1 ½ cups extra dark chocolate chips or 6 to 9 ounces chocolate chunks**
- ½ cup toasted and chopped pecans.
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the butter and both sugars until creamy using an electric mixer. Add the egg and beat just until it is incorporated. Beat in the vanilla.
- In a separate bowl mix your flour, baking soda and salt. Stir into the sugar mixture gradually. When blended, stir in the ground granola, chocolate chips and nuts.
- Using a medium size cookie scoop, scoop out about 24 portions of dough. You can make the dough balls larger or smaller if you wish.
- Bake at 350 for 12-14 minutes (check at 10) or until edges are lightly browned and cookies appear done. Let cool on baking sheet for about 3 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For the chocolate chunks, take your favorite chocolate bar and cut it into chunks.
