‘Everything’ Cookies
If you’re craving for a lil’ sweet treat but want something quick, easy, and fuss-free, this is the cookie recipe for you!
This is my version of an ‘everything’ cookie. As the name suggests, apart from the basic cookie base, you can add in quite literally anything you like.
I love how simple this is, and my favourite thing about these cookies is that you can get creative with the bits and bobs. You can go for cranberries instead of strawberries, pistachios over hazelnuts, and even double the chocolate to your liking.
The possibilities are endless - just make sure to maintain the same total weight of mix-ins ☝️
I used oats, nuts, and seeds which not only give the cookies that crrrunch, it’s a good way to pack in extra fibre too!
This was just the right amount of sweetness for me but if you like it extra sweet, you can adjust the sugar to suit your preference (see my recipe note below).

THE RECIPE
MAKES 25 SMALL COOKIES
Ingredients
Cookie base:
170g unsalted butter, room temp
50g granulated sugar*
1 egg, room temp
110g all-purpose flour
1 tsp cinnamon
3/4 tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
Bits and bobs:
125g rolled oats
50g desiccated coconut
240g nuts/seeds/chocolate/dried fruit, roughly chopped
Directions
Preheat the oven to 175ºC.
Beat the butter and sugar in a bowl till smooth.
Add the egg and mix well.
Add the flour, baking soda, cinnamon powder, salt, and mix well.
Add the bits and bobs of your choice and mix well… you’re getting a gist of how easy this recipe is!
Using an ice cream scoop (I use a mini one to get small bite-sized cookies), scoop the batter onto a baking sheet lined with baking paper.
Bake in the oven at 175ºC for 12-14 minutes, turning halfway for even cooking.
Once done, leave the cookies on the hot pan for 10-15 minutes to cool before removing them.
Once cooled, use a spatula to transfer them to a wire cooling rack.
Notes
*I’d rate the sweetness of these cookies 5/10, because I prefer to rely on the sweetness of the bits and bobs (chocolate, dried fruit, etc). If you prefer them sweeter, you can go up to 70-80g of sugar.
