Recipe provided by Kitchen McCabe
Ingredients
- 2 sticks (1 cup) butter, room temperature
- 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 3 cups Kodiak Buttermilk Power Cakes Flapjack & Waffle Mix
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup graham crackers, lightly crushed
- 1 cup freeze-dried strawberries
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 375° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the butter in a large mixing bowl along with both types of sugar. Beat for 2-3 minutes, until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the vanilla extract.
- Beat in the eggs, one at a time, thoroughly mixing in after each addition.
- Add the Kodiak mix, cornstarch, and baking soda to a separate mixing bowl and whisk to combine.
- Add the dry ingredients to the bowl of wet ingredients and beat until just combined.
- Fold in the white chocolate chips, graham crackers, and freeze-dried strawberries to the cookie dough with a spoon until evenly distributed.
- Let the dough rest for about 15 minutes (giving the whole grains time to absorb more moisture before baking).
- Scoop 1/2 cup mounds of dough and roll into a ball. Place on the prepared baking sheet and press the dough ball down to about half its height. Repeat with the remaining dough.
- Bake cookies for 9-10 minutes, or until just golden brown on the bottoms. Do not overbake - they may be soft on top but will firm up after cooling.
- Store in an airtight container.
*Baker’s Note: This recipe makes 8 rather large cookies. This achieves the best texture, but the cookies can be made smaller if desired.
