Magnolia Bakery Silo Cookies Recipe
Giant, chewy oatmeal cookies loaded with chocolate chips, pecans, and peanut butter chips. You'll love this copycat recipe!
Ingredients
- 1 cup salted butter, softened to room temperature
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- ¾ cup white sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all purpose flour (5 ounces)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 ½ cups old fashioned oats
- 1 ½ cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 ½ cups peanut butter chips
- ½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts (I used pecans.)
Instructions
- Coarsely chop the pecans. (For best flavor, toast them first, then let them cool.)
- In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugars with an electric mixer for 3-4 minutes at medium speed. Beat in the eggs and vanilla.
- Stir in the flour, salt, baking soda, and oats.
- For bakery style cookies, set aside about six tablespoons of both the chocolate chips and peanut butter chips. Stir in the rest of the chips with the chopped nuts.
- Use a 2 ounce cookie scoop (3 tablespoons) to portion the dough and roll into balls. Place the cookied dough balls on a cookie sheet or plates. Chill for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350°. Line cookie sheets with silicone liners or parchment paper, or use cooking spray.
- Place the chilled dough balls at least 2 1/2 inches apart on a prepared cookie sheet. Bake at 350° for 13-15 minutes, or until barely set in the middle.
- Immediately press a few of the reserved chips on top of each of the hot cookies. Let the cookies cool on the pan for 2-3 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
Notes
- For regular sized cookies, use a 1-ounce scoop to portion the dough. Bake for about 9 minutes. You will get about 58 cookies.
- Cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week. You can also freeze them for several months. For maximum freshness, wrap them in plastic wrap first.
