"From St. John's Church Cookbook 2004 (Fox Lake, WI). The recipe doesn't say how long to bake these, and the yield is also a guess!"

  1. These are so good. I baked them 15 minutes and they were perfect. I used coconut instead of the chocolate chips and for the fruit I used dried strawberries, cherries and apricots. After freezing for a few weeks they were just as good as when freshly baked. I will never buy those hard, dry granola bars again. Thanks so much for a great recipe.
     
  2. These are fabulous!!! I halved the recipe and ended up with 32 cookies. I used golden raisins, dried blueberries, and dried cranberries for my fruit. I found that if I baked them at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes, they'd come out of the oven pretty soft, but would firm up nicely if left to sit on the baking sheet for a few minutes. (I tried baking the first batch for 10 minutes, and they stayed pretty squishy.) I can't speak to how well they freeze, as we've just been chowing down on them all week, but they are a good energy-packed, portable breakfast. I'll definitely be making these again - thanks for sharing, kburie!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

My husband and I married straight out of college in July of 1992. I work as the Assistant Manager at a wine shop which allows me to drink on the job! (OK, not that much, but it's still a fun job...) Besides helping customers choose wine they will like (and also help with food and wine pairings for their menus), I also get to help with the catering end of the business, so I get to spend a fair amount of time in the kitchen making fun appetizers and beautiful food displays. I also work part-time at the fromagerie next door. So yeah - that means I eat on the job, too. :^D We live on several peaceful wooded acres on a cute little river in rural NE Wisconsin, with a cranky old-lady Burmese and whatever stray outdoor cats that have decided to adopt us on any given day. The cute puppy in the picture is Jake, our Elhew-bred English Pointer that we brought home on Easter weekend 2007. I've also got 2 painted turtles named Dennis and Fuzz, and a bunch of fish (koi and goldfish, along with the guppies & swordtails in the turtle tank). I USUALLY eat and cook healthy, but I rarely pass up dessert, either. I do not eat red meat, and try to limit other animal products, too. I love to bake, although I seem to collect a lot of scone and biscotti recipes which I NEVER get around to making. I bake and eat A LOT of cookies and muffins... I almost always reduce the sugar by 1/4 and use whole wheat pastry flour for at least part of the flour. Those two changes do so much to make recipes healthier without compromising taste. I try to reduce fat whenever I can, too, but while I want to eat healthy, I still want to ENJOY what I eat!!! I seem to give a lot of 4 and 5 star reviews here - I seem to have a pretty good sense of what I like by looking at a recipe before I try it. Thank you to anyone that tries my recipes in return, or photographs them.
