Granola Cookies

These no fuss cookies are crisp, chewy and buttery. An understated deliciousness that is quite satisfying.   

Granola Cookies

-----------------------------------------------------------------

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

1/3 cup caster sugar

1/3 cup dark brown sugar, packed

1 teaspoon maple extract

1 large egg

2 cups granola, any flavour, slightly crushed

1 cup unbleached all purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line a baking tray with baking parchment paper. 

In a large bowl, beat the butter, sugars, maple extract and large egg with an electric mixer on medium speed, or you can mix with a wooden spoon, until blended and creamy.

Stir and mix in the granola and the dry ingredients.

Using your hands, roll the dough into balls, no larger than a walnut, place on the prepared baking tray and gently press the tops. 

Bake 9 to 11 minutes or until lightly golden brown and the edges and centre are set but not hard. Allow to cool for 1 minute then remove the cookies to a wire rack. 

Hope everyone had a lovely weekend. - JD
