Servings: 12
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter
- 1/3 cup light brown sugar packed
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup drippy and creamy cashew butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups quick-cooking oats gluten-free if desired
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ cup butterscotch chips
- ¼ cup dark chocolate chopped
- ¼ cup craisins or raisins
- ¼ cup salted and roasted peanuts roughly chopped
- ¼ cup salted pretzels chopped into small pieces
Optional Toppings
- ¼ cup shredded unsweetened coconut
- ¼ cup pretzels roughly chopped
Instructions
- First, preheat the oven to 350ºF and spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
- Next, combine melted butter and brown sugar until there are no lumps. Then, add maple syrup, egg, cashew butter, and vanilla and mix again.
- Add salt, quick-cooking oats, and baking soda and mix until everything is combined. Add in butterscotch chips, dark chocolate chunks, craisins, peanuts, and pretzel shucks. Mix to combine.
- Refrigerate for 1 hour to chill.
- If you would like to roll your cookie dough in extra toppings, place the shredded coconut and pretzels on a plate. Set aside.
- Scoop 2 tablespoons of batter into your hands and form it into a ball. Roll the cookie dough into the toppings, if desired. Press the extra toppings into the cookie dough ball.
- Place it onto the cookie sheet and slightly press down to form a cookie shape. The batter may feel a bit wet, but they will be so soft and chewy when done baking!*
- Repeat the process above until you’ve fit 6 cookies on your baking sheet.
- Bake cookies at 350ºF for 11-14 minutes or until they begin to turn golden brown.
- Let cookies cool for a couple of minutes on the baking sheet before carefully transferring them to a wire rack to continue cooling for at least 20 minutes to firm up.
Notes
If you are rolling the cookie dough in additional toppings, don’t be afraid to really press the toppings in with your hands.
Cookie dough – the cookies will spread just a little bit when baking. If you don’t press them down, you will get dome-shaped cookies.
It might help to slightly moisten your hands before rolling the cookie dough and washing your hands in-between balls because the dough is pretty sticky.
