The ingredients for Compost cookies reads like a list of my 3 year old son's favorite things: chocolate chips, potato chips, pretzels and graham crackers. The only thing missing are Cheddar bunnies and match box cars. If you are feeling skeptical about these ingredients, don't be, these cookies are amazing. I can confirm that as I have thoroughly taste tasted them. Since last Friday I have made 3 batches.
Adapted from recipe on Cooking Channel
16 tablespoons (butter, softened)
1 cup granulated sugar
2/3 cup light brown sugar
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/3 all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup butterscotch chips
1 cup crumbled graham crackers
2 cups potato chips
1 cup mini pretzels
1/3 cup rolled oats
1 teaspoon of ground coffee
Combine butter and sugars in in a stand mixer (with paddle attached), and mix until combined. Then add in vanilla and egg.
In a separate bowl combine flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Add in 3 batches to stand mixer combining at medium speed.
Now, the fun part. In any order, add chocolate chips, oats, potato chips, butterscotch chips, mini pretzels, pirates bootie, graham crackers and coffee.
Hopefully, you are a careful reader and noticed I that added an ingredient that's not like the others. Reminds me of a Friends episode where Rachel gets the ingredients of English trifle confused with shepherd's pie, and added a layers ground meat.
Use an ice-cream scoop (1/3 cup) to portion the cookie dough. Pat down a bit so the cookies are not so round, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or 24 hours.
Cook in a preheated oven (375) on parchment lined cookie sheet for 15-18 minutes. Rotate mid-cook to ensure even cooking.
Let cool on a wire wrack.
