Happy Friday everyone!
It has been a slow week at the family feast, I know. I have been recovering from the onslaught of chocolate...
But we are back on track with a well-loved family favorite sent in by Kristen! These are her delicious Everything Cookies, and I know many of us have been wanting the recipe. Kristen says the recipe came from Southern Living, but she didn't remember what they called them--she appropriately named them Everything Cookies since they have, well, everything in them.
However...Kristen has since seen a similar cookie made on the food network, and they called them BeachComber Cookies. She does take these to the beach every year, so she likes this name better. They're Kristen's great cookies, so she gets to choose. I like the new, catchy name. So, here are Everything Cookies version 2.0....
BeachComber Cookies
Yeilds 4.5 dozen...consider making half and freezing the other half for later use
Ingredients:
1c butter, softened
1 c sugar
1 c firmly packed brown sugar
1 c crunchy peanut butter (I recommend estimation with the peanut butter so you don’t have to clean the measuring cup forever after measuring.)
1 t. vanilla extract.
2 eggs
2 1/2 c. flour
2 t. baking soda
1/4 t. salt
3 c granola with almonds (no raisins)
1 (12 oz) pkg. semisweet chocolate morsels
1 (10 oz) pkg. peanut butter morsels
Instructions
1. Beat butter at med. speed with an electric mixer until creamy. Gradually add sugars, blending until smooth. Add peanut butter and vanilla, beating until blended. Add eggs one at a time beating after each addition.
2. Combine flour, baking soda, and salt; gradually add to butter mixture, beating at low speed until just blended. Stir in granola and morsels, cover and chill 2 hours. (I skip the “chilling” part and they still work out fine)
3. Shape dough into 1 1/2 in. balls, place on baking sheets.
4. Bake 375 for 8-10 minutes. For large cookies, 1/4 c @ 375 for 18 - 20min. Cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes.
