Maple Brown Sugar Granola Cookies

What starts with the letter C?  Cookie starts with C!  Cookie Monster was right, "C" is for cookie.  That's good enough for me.  I have a house full of little cookie monsters.  Cookies disappear fast here!   

Recently, I came across a new cookie recipe on a box of one of our favorite granolas, Maple Brown Sugar Granola by Cascadian Farm.  It's always fun finding a new favorite cookie recipe.  We love the granola.  We'll love the cookie, too.  Right?

Ingredients 

1 cup butter, softened

3/4 cup granulated sugar

3/4 cup packed brown sugar

2 teaspoons vanilla

2 eggs

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

4 cups Cascadian Farm® organic maple brown sugar granola*

3/4 cup raisins (I used golden raisins)

3/4 cup chopped pecans (I left out the nuts)

Directions

Heat oven to 350°F. In large bowl, beat butter, sugars, vanilla and eggs with electric mixer on low speed until light and fluffy. Beat in flour, baking soda and salt until well mixed.

Stir in granola, raisins and pecans. Onto ungreased cookie sheet, drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart. Bake 11-13 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack. *I think any kind of granola would work, use your favorite kind.

Source: Cascadian Farm Granola The Results... nom nom, nom nom nom.....yummy cookies!!!  Maple, sweet brown sugar, crunchy granola, rich butter and golden raisins all together in a soft, chewy cookie was delicious!  These did disappear fast.  But, since I made a double batch there were still some left for breakfast in the morning.  Maple Brown Sugar Granola Cookies with a tall glass of cold milk was a breakfast my little "monsters" gobbled right up!
