They’re also made from 100% organic ingredients. Here’s how to make your own! Read on to learn more about the benefits of these healthy cookies.
I did something good. Actually, I did three good things.
First, I cleaned out my pantry. Which I should do more often, it gets out of control and something always gets sticky. Second, I used all my random, small portions of baking ingredients that were taking up space. Less clutter in the cabinet means I get to buy more to fill it up! And lastly, I baked cookies. Compost cookies! And I couldn’t have done each of these without the other.
First we start with cookie dough. It needs some sprucin’ up, don’t you think?
Then we search the cabinets and look for small portions of miscellaneous ingredients that need to be used up. I had some toasted coconut.
And white chocolate chips.
And mini chocolate chips.
So far I like where this is going.
I had a handful of whole pecans which I broke up with my hands. Then threw them in my cookie dough. Then I did a happy dance.
Oats! I have more oats but I didn’t want to add too many or else the cookie could get a bit chewy.
This was the perfect amount, just a little less than a half cup.
And lastly, crushed up Lay’s potato chips. Why not? I like a little salt with my sweet.
Mix the dough with a nice big wooden spoon and look at what you have created!
The cool thing about this compost cookie recipe is that everyone’s version will be different. You may have some ingredients I didn’t have on hand. Like peanut butter chips. Or cashews. Or M&Ms. (That combo alone sounds delicious!) Basically anything you can imagine.

To make a delicious, nutritious, and earthy cookie, start by preparing the ingredients. A few teaspoons of baking soda are essential for making a sugar cookie. This baking soda will not only keep the cookies fresh for a long time, but it will also prevent your kitchen from smelling like an old-fashioned coffee shop. A large, round dough scoop is ideal for making these compost cookies. The scoop should be able to scoop out the dough easily and store it for up to a month.
After preparing the ingredients, it’s time to start baking. The graham cracker crumbs should be sifted to form crumbs. Mix-ins should be added to make the cookies more appealing. Some people prefer to use mini pretzels and potato chips, which can be discarded after they’re baked. Alternatively, they can be made without the addition of sugar. You’ll need to chill the cookie dough for an hour before baking.
