Recipe: Delicious Simple Granola Cookies

Simple Granola Cookies. I used granola that contained raisins and almonds which I think are a fabulous addition to these cookies. Feel free to use your favorite granola, but I would skip plain granola on these cookies since the additional ingredients make them so interesting. Have you ever had Granola Cookies?

Granola: I've only ever made these cookies using homemade granola (this honey almond granola and this coconut cashew granola); both of these recipe tend to be less clump than some storebought granolas. If using a granola that has ginormous clumps, I'd suggest breaking them up into smaller pieces so everything is about pea size or slightly larger. This granola recipe is also a far more healthy granola option, since it's made with whole grains, unrefined oil and naturally sweetened. You can cook Simple Granola Cookies using 5 ingredients and 10 steps. Here is how you cook that.

Nut lovers, this would work with walnuts (presumably) or almonds, too. This recipe probably depends on which granola you use. My granola was fairly powdery and mostly oats maybe something sweeter or crunchier would be better. As it was the cookies were like somewhat fancy chocolate chip cookies. Stir in eggs, butter, and vanilla.
