Chocolate Chips Dump Cookies
I am renaming these cookies dump cookies because I dump whatever I have good in them, if I don't have granola I use oats. Walnuts or pecans can be interchangeable. Don't have dried cherries then just use raisins or cranberries but all of them together are best! This recipe is adapted from the recipe for Gaia Cookies in Shauna Niequists book Bread & Wine.
Ingredients
- 2 sticks Butter
- 1 1/2 cups Brown Sugar
- 2 Eggs
- 1 tablespoon Vanilla
- 1 1/2 cups Whole Wheat White Flour
- 1 1/2 cups Granola or Oats use your favorite granola any type works
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Coconut
- 1 cup chopped Pecans or Walnuts
- 2 cups Chocolate Chips
- 1 heaping cup chopped Dates
- 1 cup Raisins dried Cherries, or Cranberries or any combination
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Cream together butter and brown sugar. Add eggs in one at a time and cream ingredients together well, then add vanilla.
- In a separate bowl combine dry ingredients: flour, granola, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add dry ingredients to butter mixture, when dry ingredients are fully incorporated then add in coconut, nuts, dates chocolate chips, raisins, cherries, and cranberries. Mix until combined.
- I use a large cookie scoop to form my dough into large balls, approximately 1 1/2-2 inches in diameter. I make all my dough balls at one time and place them on a parchment lined baking sheet, then I put the baking sheet in the freezer, after 5 minutes you can remove the cookie dough and place it on another parchment lined sheet and bake for 14 minutes. If cookies appear to be not quite done, that's ok remove and allow to cool on the cookie sheet they will continue to bake with out getting over done, then remove to cooling rack. Repeat with the rest of the cookie dough.
