Servings: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup smooth peanut butter
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup light or dark brown sugar I used dark
- 1 cup granola cereal I used Fiber One Granola Cereal in Cranberry Almond
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure even baking and perfect golden-brown cookies.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the smooth peanut butter and brown sugar. Mix until well combined and creamy.
- Crack the large egg into the peanut butter and sugar mixture. Stir until fully incorporated and smooth.
- Gently fold in the granola cereal and semi-sweet chocolate chips, distributing evenly throughout the dough.
- Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing cookies apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until edges are lightly golden. Centers may look soft but will firm as they cool.
- Remove cookies from oven and let cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Enjoy!
Equipment

Notes
- Use smooth peanut butter for the best chewy texture; crunchy peanut butter changes the dough consistency.
- Do not over-bake; cookies should be slightly soft in the center when removed from oven.
- Let cookies cool on baking sheet before transferring to prevent breaking.
- Customize granola type to complement peanut butter and chocolate flavors.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or freeze for up to three months.
