Ingredients

• 113 grams unsalted butter
• 150 grams brown sugar, packed
• 50 grams granulated sugar
• 1 unit large egg
• 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 120 grams all-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 200 grams granola cereal
• 100 grams rolled oats
• 70 grams dried cranberries (or raisins)
• 50 grams chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts or almonds, optional)
• 70 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Beat until well combined.

Step 4

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until incorporated. Avoid overmixing.

Step 6

Gently fold in the granola cereal, rolled oats, dried cranberries, chopped nuts, and chocolate chips (if using) until evenly distributed.

Step 7

Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, portion out small mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie for spreading.

Step 8

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 9

Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the pans for 5 minutes. Then, transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
