Innovative chocolate chip cookies with a twist - made with granola, walnuts, unique spices, chestnut paste (or praline paste), and a hint of citrus and herbs. Perfect for a decadent treat!
Ingredients:
  • 1 cup margarine, softened
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon French vanilla-flavored instant coffee granules
  • 0.125 teaspoon water
  • 1 teaspoon strawberry jam
  • 1 teaspoon sweetened chestnut puree
  • 1 tablespoon instant hot chocolate mix
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 dash ground nutmeg
  • 1 drop fresh lemon juice
  • 0.25 teaspoon orange liqueur
  • 1 drop maple flavored extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2.5 cups granola with nuts and raisins
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 4 teaspoons salt
  • 1 (16 ounce) package semisweet chocolate chips
  • 0.5 cup chopped and toasted walnuts
  • 1 ounce rosemary flavored chocolate, grated
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and lightly grease 2 baking sheets.
  • In a mixing bowl, cream together margarine, white sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla extract. Mix instant coffee and water in a small bowl, then stir into the sugar mixture. Stir in strawberry jam, chestnut puree, hot chocolate mix, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, orange liqueur, and maple extract until evenly blended. Gradually mix in the flour, granola, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Fold in chocolate chips, walnuts, and grated chocolate until fully incorporated. Roll tablespoon-sized amounts of dough into 1-inch balls and flatten to 1/4 inch thickness using a floured glass on baking sheets.
  • Bake in a preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the tops are set and lightly touched. Then, let them cool for 10 minutes on the baking sheets before transferring to a rack to cool completely.
