Fantastic. I used 2 c chocolate chips instead of white chips and nuts. I used approx 1 c raisins instead of the dried fruit. The family loves them!

I left out the chocolate chips and nuts and just threw in various pieces of bags of dried fruit I had in my pantry, including two toddler bites bags of dried bananas and apples. These cookies were incredible. I even used two different kinds of granola. Most definitely a keeper. Do let them cool a full 10 mins on your cookie sheet before removing them or they tear very easily.
