Perfect Coffee or Tea cookie.
You would think that this is a commercial for Costco’s ingredients? but it’s not. If you have other Nut blends, Cereal blends and sweetener blends then use those.
Do you buy Costco’s addictive “Cashew Clusters” and wonder what to do with all of the good crumbs in the bottom of the bag? With these cookies, you will use them up and can even food process some of them to make these treats, a sweet, biscuity, shortbready cookie in texture, these are a bit like a ranger cookie in flavor. Makes 1 dozen or more depending on size. They are great dunkers the next day. This one is a keeper.
Oven 375°.
1 1/4 c Buiscuit mix (see my recipe below)
1/2 c butter Softened
1/4 c Lakanto brand Monkfruit Erythritol mix
2 Tbsp Sugar
1/4 c Mini white Chocolate Chips.
1 large egg.
1 tsp vanilla.
1 c Costco’s Kirkland brand “Cashew Cluster” Crumbs. (Or 1/4 c candied pecans and 3/4 c mixed nuts all chopped fine.)
3/4 c Mountain Summit cereal (or bran flakes with nuts cranberries and berries)
Preheat Oven to 375°
Using a stand mixer, Cream Butter and Sweetener together until light and fluffy, add the egg and beat well, add Vanilla, then add the White Chocolate chips and the Cashew Cluster Crumbs, mix in, then add Biscuit mix all at once and mix well. Dough will be stiff. Lastly, add Mountain Summit cereal and mix in.
Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or silicone liner.
Scoop out walnut sized to golf ball sized pieces into your hand and shape and flatten a little.
Place each cookie on to the cookie sheet. Bake at 375 for about 1-12 minutes, until slightly golden in color. Remove from the oven and transfer cookies to a cooling rack. Cool before eating. Perfect tea cookie.
