Ingredients
- 150 grams bread crumbs
- 120 grams all-purpose flour
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 50 grams brown sugar
- 115 grams unsalted butter
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 75 grams chocolate chips (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the bread crumbs, all-purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using a hand or stand mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and beat until well combined.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a dough forms. If the dough seems too dry, add the tablespoon of milk and mix again.
Step 6
Fold in the chocolate chips if you’re using them for a touch of extra sweetness.
Step 7
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, portion out the dough and roll it into balls. Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Step 8
Gently press down on each dough ball to flatten it slightly.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are golden brown and the centers look set.
Step 10
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.
Step 11
Serve and enjoy your unique Bread Crumb Cookies with a glass of milk or a cup of tea!
