Chewy Granola Peanut Butter Cookies Recipes

GRANOLA COOKIES

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).

SOFT AND CHEWY PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
• In a medium bowl, combine flour, soda, and salt. Mix well with a wire whisk set aside.
• In a large bowl, blend sugars, using an electric mixer set at medium speed. Add butter, and mix to form a grainy paste, scraping the sides of the bowl. Add eggs, peanut butter and vanilla and mix at medium speed until light and fluffy.
• Add the flour mixture and mix at low speed until just mixed.
• Drop by rounded spoonfuls onto an ungreased cookie sheet. With a wet fork gently press cookies in a crisscrossed pattern. Bake for 18-22 minutes or until slightly brown along edges.

CHEWY GRANOLA PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES

Steps:

• Chop the Chewy Granola bars into small pieces and set aside.

• Whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt in a separate bowl. Mix well and add to the peanut mixture. Beat until incorporated. Fold in the chopped Chewy Granola bars. Refrigerate for 1 hour or until very firm.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place about 2 inches from each other on the baking sheets. Use a fork to flatten and make crosshatch marks on top. Bake until lightly browned around the edges, 12 to 15 minutes. Cool on wire racks.
