Time 23m

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 tablespoons unsalted butter at room temperature
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter*
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1 large egg
2 tablespoons nonfat milk or milk of choice
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
¾ cup white whole wheat flour
1 cup prepared granola
1/3 cup mini chocolate chips
1/4 cup dried cranberries (or other dried fruit of choice: raisins or golden raisins, chopped dried cherries, chopped dried apricots)
1/4 cup chopped nuts of choice: pecans (almonds, or walnuts (I used pecans))

Steps:

  • Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or a large mixing bowl, place the butter, peanut butter, and brown sugar. Beat on medium-high speed for 2 minutes, until lightened in color and smoothly combined.
  • Scrape down the bowl. Add the egg, milk, and vanilla and beat to combine. Stop the mixer to scrape down the bowl again as needed.
  • Sprinkle the cinnamon and salt over the top.
  • Sprinkle on the flour. Mix on low speed, just until the dough comes together and all bits of dry flour disappear.
  • By hand or with the mixer on low, gently stir in the granola, chocolate chips, cranberries, and nuts.
  • Portion the batter by generous ¼-cup-sized mounds onto the baking sheet, placing each cookie about 2 inches apart. With your fingers, gently flatten each cookie a little bit (they will not spread much during baking).
  • Bake the granola cookies for 10 to 13 minutes, until lightly browned and dry to the touch at the edges and still slightly soft and the centers. The cookies will look a little underdone in the middle, but do not over bake or they will be dry. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 3 minutes, then gently transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling completely. (I slide the parchment paper straight onto the rack).

Provided by Katie Lee Biegel

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 12 to 15 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups creamy peanut butter
1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 large eggs
1 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup roasted and salted pepitas
Greek yogurt, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Mix the peanut butter, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and eggs in a large bowl with a handheld mixer until smooth. Add the oats, cranberries and pepitas and mix until just combined. Use a 1/4-cup dry measuring cup or 1/4-cup ice cream scoop to scoop the dough onto the baking sheets, leaving at least 1 inch between scoops, making about 9 per tray. Flatten the scoops slightly with the back of a spoon. Bake until the cookies are starting to brown, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Let them sit on the baking sheets for a couple of minutes to let them set up a little bit. Serve warm, or let cool completely, then store in an airtight container for up to a week. Also great for freezing and eating straight out of the freezer! Serve with Greek yogurt for slathering or dipping, if using.

SAVORY BREAKFAST COOKIES



Savory Breakfast Cookies image

I admit to being a granola bar failure. A lot of the homemade granola bar recipes I've tried are either rock hard or gummy uncooked-tasting disasters. This recipe is for a savory breakfast cookie that is really light and crispy. This is a variation of a recipe that was published by Quaker Oats. I've made several adjustments, but the basic recipe idea is theirs. The bacon and cheese can make this quite salty, so I usually only add a pinch of salt. The recipe appears to be quite forgiving, however, and I've made different variations on the same theme. I don't change the sugar amount because I've found that it really needs the sugar for purposes of improving the texture. NOTE: In lieu of the flours, you may substitute 3/4 c. white flour and 1/4 cup wheat germ, just make sure you get a cup of some sort of flour mixture. The prep time doesn't include time in the refrigerator.

Tips:

  • Be sure to press the dough firmly into the muffin tins. This will help the cookies hold their shape.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
