With Weetabix and Muesli (Multigrain flakes)
My regular readers know that I don’t eat sweet stuff but my sweetie does so I make it on fairly regular basis. This time there were no cookies left and since we never buy this sort of thing it was time to make some. Well, I had most of the ingredients on hand except one that makes up most of the volume, Weetabix. No problem, I found a bag of Muesli with a statement in huge font saying “Good for you”. I was sold. New recipe was born and after my better half tasted it and pronounced it a winner I modified my original recipe.
In measuring cup you can see the Weetabix on bottom topped with muesli.
Ingredients
2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cups firmly packed light brown sugar
2 teaspoons vanillas extract
2 large eggs
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup Weetabix Whole Grain Cereal (4 Biscuits, crushed fine)
2-1/2 cup Muesli
1-1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup chopped walnuts
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350°F
- Cream together the butter and brown sugar in electric mixer and beat until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs to the butter mixture one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the vanilla and mix.
- Sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl and stir to mix
- Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and stir just until the dry ingredients are moist and blended. Do not over mix.
- Mix in crushed Weetabix, chocolate chips and nuts until all ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
- Scoop the dough with ¼ cup ice cream scoop or by the heaping tablespoon and drop onto prepared baking sheet covered with baking paper and about 3 inches apart.
- Bake about 20 minutes, until the cookies are light brown. Start checking without opening oven after about 17 minutes.
Can be made ahead, rolled into a 3” log and refrigerated for up to 3 days. Then just slice with serrated bread knife.
