My grandma loved to cook, but there are three distinct things that I remember her making the most: burgers, apple pies, and oatmeal cookies. All three delicious in their own way, and during the holidays her house always smelt of a various mix of baked goodies. In the years since she went into the nursing home I’ve taken over the majority of baking for family functions, and I’m beyond thrilled to add my own unique spin on a classic that she used to make – Honey Granola Cookies.
I picked up the new Quaker® Simply Granola at Wal-Mart last week, and it made for the perfect addition to my oatmeal cookie recipe. The variety in Quaker® Simply Granola Oats, Honey & Almonds added a unique set of flavors to an already rich and filling cookie. The granola is not only an excellent source of fiber, but also only has 9g of fat per serving!
