Excellent cookies! Used Enjolinfam's Breakfast Granola #241386 for the granola in these cookies. Was also able to make these gluten free although I did need to add about 1/4 cup of gluten free flour to keep them from spreading, but that's usual with the flour mix that I use. Thanks for posting this recipe Crystal. I will be making these often. Made for Sweet Delights Tag March 2010.

My whole family just gobbled these up! Delicious. I used 1 cup whole wheat (ground hard white) flour and 3/4 c. white. You could not even tell there was more whole grain in them. I had some store-bought granola that got stale before its time but it was sure delicious in these cookies. I will definitely make these again!
