1 c Butter, softened
3/4 c Sugar
3/4 c Brown sugar, packed
2 Eggs
1 ts Vanilla extract
1-1/2 c Flour
2 c Granola (i like the kind
-with fruit added)
1 c Rolled oats
1 ts Baking powder
1/4 ts Salt
1 c Raisins
1 c Semi-sweet chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Cream butter and sugars together well. Beat in eggs one at a time.
Add vanilla.
Add remaining ingredients (it works best if the are mixed together
first). Drop by spoonfuls (a mechanical ice cream scoop works
well) onto a greased (or with parchment paper) cookie sheet. Bake
at 350°F (180°C) oven for 10-12 minutes.
Options: substitute the chocolate chips for the same amount in dark
chocolate bars ("Burnt Almond" is my favourite) cut into chunks.
Add candied cherries, sprinkles, etc.
