Ingredients

  • 1 cup granola
  • 1 ½ cups white whole wheat or all-purpose flour (190 grams)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt, scant
  • 4 ounces unsalted butter, room temperature (114 grams)
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar (150 grams)
  • ½ cup very tightly packed light brown sugar (100 grams)
  • ½ cup tightly packed dark brown sugar (100 grams)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups old fashioned oats -- maybe start with 1 ½?
  • 1 ½ cups dark chocolate or bittersweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup toasted and coarsely chopped walnuts or pecans

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a food processor, grind the granola until very fine. Set aside.
  • Combine the flour, baking soda, and set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter until creamy. Add all 3 sugars and mix just until blended, then add the egg and vanilla and mix until incorporated. Add the flour mixture by hand or using the lowest speed of a stand mixer. Stir in the oats, ground granola, chocolate chips and nuts.
  • Shape dough into about 20 to 22 large balls of dough and arrange them about 3 inches apart on ungreased or parchment lined cookie sheets.
  • Bake one sheet at a time for 15-17 minutes or until edges are brown and centers appear set. Let cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then carefully transfer to wire racks to cool.

Notes

Would like to try these with ½ butter and ½ coconut oil.
