Oatmeal Granola Cookies image

I was in the supermarket one day shopping for a muffin recipe from the Barefoot Contessa. I had picked up french vanilla granola in hopes of using it in the recipe, but when I got home and tasted it the first thing I thought of was oatmeal cookies. So, the kids and I came up with this one. We get around 3 dozen or so from this recipe.

Time 1h

Yield 3 dozen, 18 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 cup softened butter
1/2 cup shortening
1 cup dark brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon double strength vanilla extract or 2 teaspoons regular strength vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon allspice
1 1/2 cups oats
1 1/2 cups granola cereal, I use french vanilla with almonds
3/4 cup dried fruit, I use raisins

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350. In a bowl mix flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder and spices till well blended. Set aside.
  • In another bowl, beat butter, shortening and sugars until light and creamy. Then add the eggs one at a time until they are blended. Add the vanilla beat until well blended, about a minute.
  • Add the flour mixture to the butter and sugar mixture. When dough is well blended, fold in fruit, oats and granola. Break your granola into manageable pieces if needed.
  • Drop by rounded teaspoon onto pan. We lined our pans with wax paper but whatever you choose to do to your pans is up to you. Bake for 10 - 12 minutes. Oven temps vary, so keep an eye on your cookies !
