I just love granola. I can just imagine how good it is in these cookies
Crispy and crunchy and my son just devoured them. You should definitely give them a try.
I bet my kids would eat these up – and I would too! They sound and look like the perfect afternoon snack. I’ll check out your granola recipe too.
Thanks Marlynn! I think you’ll love the granola too!
you had me at CRISPY. I love a crispy crunchy cookie!
Me too! Thanks Kristina!
These look amazing. Absolutely love crispy cookies!
Me too. Thanks Marye!
I love the idea of granola in cookies. It makes them so thick and craggy–and it is a great way to change up the flavor subtly with different granolas. Yum! I want to try these with my peanut butter granola….
Just what I was looking for; a crunchy oatmeal cookie!
You missed putting in the vanilla in directions though. I added with the butter sugar egg mix.
