Granola Cookies

Sweet Recipes
I made these a few weeks ago with my kids and they couldn’t be easier—all you have to do is mix all the ingredients together with a fork, spoon them onto a baking sheet, and bake. No stand mixer required!
My kids made simpler cookies, with oats, egg, baking powder, 3 tablespoons peanut butter, flour, and chocolate chips. They would never eat these as is—but they weren’t home when I made these, so I added what I wanted.
No matter what you put in them, these cookies are a great way to get kids involved in the kitchen with easy cleanup and a delicious reward. When it comes to the inclusions, use what you have!
