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
