Also known as “Everything Cookies” or “Kitchen Sink Cookies”, One Cup Cookies get their name from all the one cup measurements in the recipe. You’ll need one cup butter, one cup sugar, one cup brown sugar, one cup peanut butter, etc.
Thankfully you do not need a cup of baking soda! You only need a teaspoon of that, which is interesting since I’ve seen several versions of this cookie made with a full tablespoon. This recipe also calls for 1 cup of bran, which adds a bit of fiber and makes the cookies soft and chewy.
One Cup Cookies
One Cup Cookies call for 1 cup of most ingredients. This version includes wheat bran, which makes them a little bulkier and more filling.
Servings: 50
Ingredients
- 1 cup 8 oz salted butter, if using unsalted add 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup light brown sugar 280 grams
- 1 cup granulated sugar 280 grams
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup peanut butter 250 grams
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup all-purpose flour 130 grams
- 1 cup oats
- 1 cup chopped and toasted walnuts and/or pecans
- 1 cup bran
- 1 cup shredded or flaked coconut
- 1 cup dark chocolate chunks or dark chocolate chips
- Sea Salt optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the butter and both sugars until creamy. Add vanilla and beat until blended, then add eggs one by one and beat until light and fluffy. Beat in peanut butter, then add baking soda and beat until thoroughly blended. With mixer on the lowest speed or by hand, add the flour and stir until blended. Stir in the oats, nuts, bran, coconut and chocolate.
- Scoop up dough by slightly rounded tablespoons and shape into balls. If desired, you may chill the dough first or you may shape the dough into balls and chill the balls before baking.
- Arrange 2 ½ inches apart on a foil lined baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes.
Notes
Chilling the dough will improve the shape of the cookie somewhat, but it's not necessary.
Leah, I”m going to try them with the Rice Krispies. Thanks for the tip!
We like them with a cup of Rice Krispies instead of the bran.
Hi Carrie,
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. Glad they worked out for you and that you liked them!
These were surprisingly delicious! With the addition of the nuts, coconut, and wheat I thought they would make for a healthier treat. I didn’t expect them to taste as good as they do. I subbed cashew butter and I thought it was very tasty. Sunbutter would likely taste similar and would be a good swap for those with nut allergies. I love chocolate so I would have liked more than a cup of chips. I would probably add an extra cup. Thanks for the recipe- its a keeper!
Cute name!
Jessica, you can definitely leave it out.
Love kitchen sink cookies! Do you think I could leave out the coconut, or would that change the texture too much?
I’d like a one cup cookie with a cup of tea.
I may have to whip up a batch of these today – I think we’re going to Houston for the weekend and of course I must bring dessert of some sort……
These look great and I want one now!
