Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup muesli
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Incorporate vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to ensure even distribution of dry ingredients.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
- Fold in muesli and chocolate chips using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set but still soft.
- Remove from oven and let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Use Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure your butter and eggs are at room temperature for a smoother batter and better texture in your cookies.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the dry and wet ingredients, mix just until incorporated. Overmixing can lead to tough cookies.
- Chill the Dough: For even better flavor and texture, consider chilling the cookie dough for about 30 minutes before baking. This helps the cookies maintain their shape and enhances the flavors.
- Customize Your Muesli: Feel free to use your favorite muesli blend! Adding nuts, dried fruits, or seeds can give your cookies a unique twist.
- Watch the Baking Time: Every oven is different, so keep an eye on your cookies as they bake. They should be golden around the edges and soft in the center for the perfect chewy texture.
- Store Properly: To keep your cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container. You can also freeze the dough for later use—just scoop and freeze, then bake straight from the freezer!
