Everything Cookies with Granola

Last updated on May 30, 2016 By Anna 10 Comments

A few days ago, Mary sent me an email linking to a cookie on Sunday Nite Dinner. It seemed like your basic “Everything” or “Kitchen Sink” cookie, but it included granola. I’d never seen an Everything Cookie with granola, and since I’m always looking for ways to use what’s left near the bottom of the box, I made a batch last night.

I wanted to stick with the original recipe, but I made some minor changes – cherries instead of raisins, dark chocolate chunks instead of chips, and no peanut butter chips. I also increased the salt and used white whole wheat flour to add a little whole grain. End result was a great tasting cookie with a lot of wholesome ingredients. Thanks Sunday Nite Dinners!

Everything Cookies

Everything Cookies with Granola

1 1/2 cups granola
1 cup old fashioned rolled oats
4 oz dark chocolate, cut into chunks
1 cup toasted pecans, chopped
1 cup dried cherries or cherry flavored dried cranberries
1 2/3 cups all-purpose or white whole wheat flour (7.5 oz)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated or turbinado sugar
2 sticks (8 oz) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a couple of cookie sheets with parchment paper.

Mix granola, oats, chips, nuts and dried cherries together in a bowl; set aside.

Stir flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt together in another bowl. Set aside.

Cream the butter and both sugars together in a large bowl using an electric mixer. Add vanilla and beat in the eggs, one at time. Mix in flour mixture until just combined. Stir in the granola mixture.

Scoop up very well-rounded tablespoons of dough and shape into into 2-inch balls. Place the balls onto baking sheets, spacing them at least 2 inches apart.

Bake until the cookie edges turn golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 3 minutes. Transfer the cookies with a wide spatula to a wire rack. Let cool at least 30 minutes.
Makes about 3 dozen cookies

    Heather, I saw that you used the golden raisins and peanut butter chips. Maybe next time I’ll try the peanut butter chips (not the raisins, though).

    S, yes! I wonder if adding protein powder or ground up quinoa would ruin them completely?

    Biz, your daughter is smart. Dried cherries aren’t exactly cheap, so Christmas is a good time to stock up.

    They do look like a good breakfast cookie!

    My daughter just discoverd dried cherries and she told my mom: “nana, you could just get me lots of dried cherries for Christmas and I’ll be happy with that!”

    Hi Anna – I’ve made these cookies before as well! They really do taste wholesome, and I even attempted to convince myself that they were healthy! I’m looking forward to experimenting with them more.
