Granola cookies 🍪. If so, let me introduce you to your new cookie obsession. These granola cookies take the oatmeal cookie up a few notches. They are sweet, crunchy and chewy all at the same time. You know, everything you'd want in a cookie. This Granola Cookies Recipe is pretty versatile too.
You can add chocolate chips, dried cranberries, or walnuts and they would be just as amazing.
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.

- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in preheated oven. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely..
- Enjoy!!.
Reporter covering topics related to food. Granola Cookies are an alternative to the over-priced, over-packaged and less than healthy granola bars available at the grocery store. Many times they loaded with over processed ingredients and lots of sugar. Stir in remaining ingredients except granola; mix until smooth. Place two inches apart on lightly greased cookie sheet.
