Compost Cookies Recipes
Have you ever heard of compost cookies? These delightful treats are filled with a variety of ingredients, creating a unique and delicious flavor. The name compost may sound strange, but it refers to the idea of using leftover ingredients that would typically be discarded. This recipe is perfect for those who love experimenting in the kitchen and enjoy a combination of sweet and savory flavors.
Ingredients:
– 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 1 cup packed brown sugar
– 2 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– 1 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1 1/2 cups pretzels, coarsely chopped
– 1 cup potato chips, coarsely chopped
– 1/2 cup oats
– 1/2 cup chocolate chips
– 1/2 cup butterscotch chips
– 1/2 cup shredded coconut
– 1/4 cup coffee grounds
– 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
– 2 tablespoons chia seeds
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
5. Fold in the pretzels, potato chips, oats, chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, shredded coconut, coffee grounds, ground flaxseed, and chia seeds. Mix until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
6. Drop rounded tablespoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. The centers may still be slightly soft, but they will firm up as they cool.
8. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to wire racks to cool completely.
This recipe should yield approximately 3 dozen cookies, depending on the size of your dough scoops.
