Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup Light Corn Syrup
- 1 egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste
Dry Ingredients
- 2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Add-ins
- 1 cup granola
- 1 cup dried blueberries
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 3/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: Using a stand mixer with a paddle attachment or an electric mixer, beat the softened unsalted butter and brown sugar together until the mixture is fluffy and smooth, ensuring proper aeration for light cookies.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Beat in the light corn syrup, egg, and vanilla bean paste until the mixture is well combined and creamy, incorporating all flavors uniformly.
- Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, baking soda, and salt to the wet mixture, beating until just combined to form a consistent cookie dough.
- Fold in Add-ins: Stir in the granola, dried blueberries, white chocolate chips, and optional chopped walnuts gently to evenly distribute them without overmixing the dough.
- Form Cookies: Drop the dough by heaping tablespoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them well apart to allow for spreading.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until the cookies are lightly browned around the edges.
- Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking pan for 1 to 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely, ensuring they set properly and retain their texture.
Notes
- You can substitute dried blueberries with other dried fruits if desired.
- Chopped walnuts are optional but add a nice crunch and flavor contrast.
- Ensure butter is softened, not melted, for the best texture.
- Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
