Equipment

  • plastic wrap
  • parchment paper
  • small cookie scoop

Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks) room temperature
  • 1 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1 large egg room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups granola
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries or other dried fruit or add-in

Instructions

  • Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Gradually mix in the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Fold in the granola and cranberries. Cover dough with plastic wrap and chill in fridge for a few hours or overnight.
  • Preheat oven at 350 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Use a small cookie scoop or teaspoon to dole out dough, spaced out, on cookie sheet. Flatten each ball slightly; it will not spread a lot. Bake for 10 to 11 minutes, until the edges are golden. Cool cookies on the pan for a few minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.
  • Store in a sealed container at room temperature.
