Mr. S Birthday Feast -- Everything Cookies

Every time when we go to our favorite local bakery, Mr. S is always eyeing their cookies, especially their Everything Cookies. It is Mr. S’s birthday this week, and instead of making a birthday cake, I decided to make a giant cookie for Mr. S along with some little ones for friends that will come over for the birthday. This Everything Cookies have all the ingredients that you could want in a cookie!!!


Ingredients
*1 1/2 cups low fat organic granola
*1 cup golden organic raisins
*1 cup old fashioned organic rolled oats
*1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
*1 cup organic peanut butter chips
*1 cup chopped organic walnuts
*1 2/3 cups organic whole wheat flour
*1 teaspoon baking soda
*1 teaspoon baking powder
*1/2 teaspoon salt
*1/2 cup packed organic dark brown sugar
*1/2 cup organic sugar
*1/2 cup (1 sticks) unsalted organic butter, cut into small pieces
*2 large fresh farm eggs
*2 cups organic peanut butter
*1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

1) Preheat oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, toss in granola, raisins, rolled oats, chocolate chips, peanut butter chips and walnuts; set aside.

2) In a small bowl, sift flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and whisk together.

3) In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the granulated and dark brown sugar. Add a few pieces of butter at a time and beat until smooth and creamy. Add vanilla and beat in the eggs, one at time. Add peanut butter. Mix in flour mixture until just combined. Add the granola, raisins and chips and mix well together by hand.

4) Working with a generous 2 tablespoons of dough each time, roll the dough into 2-inch balls. Place the balls onto baking sheets, spacing them at least 2 inches apart.

5) Bake until the cookie edges turn golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 3 minutes. Transfer the cookies with a wide spatula to a wire rack. Let cool at least 30 minutes.
