The recipe I make more then any other recipe, would have to be my Maple Granola. I make it about every other week, and I eat it almost every morning with my yogurt.
It’s also the “most made” recipe in the home of my girlfriend. She has a granola eating family.
On Black Friday, Costco was handing out free cookbooks. It was on my list of places to go that morning.
Yes, I participate in all the black Friday frenzy. I get up way to early, go out in the freezing, dark night, and stand in unbearably long lines, as do sooo many others. Do I do it to save a buck? Hell no.
No… I do it because I like all the hustle and bustle. Call me crazy!
I went with my granola eating girlfriend.
We shopped, we went to breakfast, we got a free cookbook!
It was in this cookbook that I found a recipe for Chewy Granola Cookies. It was submitted by Nature’s Path, using their own granola. I’m sure they are delicious made with any granola, but I made them with my homemade maple granola. And they were fantastic!
I made 2 batches within days of each other. Yea…that good!
I made one batch for me,
and I made one batch for my granola eating girlfriend’s family!

I love granola and I love cookies. Yum!
YUM! These look really good. One of my friends has a Costco cookbook from a few years back and she and her husband swear it has the best recipes.
Good luck with the eggnog! : )
Those look wonderful! I also do the hustle and bustle thing every Black Friday with my sister in law. Up at the crack of dark, out into the cold. I love it!
Looking good Megan! As always top notvh photos!
Cheers!
Mmmm, these look super fantastic! Yum.
Can’t wait to try both recipes! Thanks for posting x
I used to do the early Black Friday thing, but I just can’t justify it anymore.
But when I did, I used to pack myself something reasonably healthy and hand-held to tide me over till I got a real meal. These would do the trick!
I wish I had this granola every morning for breakfast. Or maybe just a couple cookies and a tall glass of milk. Definitely something I’d love too.
These look super tasty! I can’t wait to give them a go!
superb cookies as I like them chewy!
this is a wonderful cookie that makes you believe you’re actually eating something healthy . . . if you just eat one!
These look great! I love granola
oh how fun! I love that you used your own granola too! Will have to try these
These look delectable!
I’m right there with you when it comes to the Black Friday sales, Megan. This year I left our home at 5:17 am clutching some of the advertising circulars, shivering to stay warm. For me, I’m an early riser – so why not get up and go shopping? Why not get up and make a big dent in my Christmas shopping list?
My attitude is if I wake up early – I shop. I never set an alarm clock. That’s just wrong. I lay my clothes out before going to bed so I’m not trying to find socks or two matching shoes in the dark. I’m usually done shopping by 11:00 am when the malls start really getting crowded.
All the cookies right now are killing me!
Have a good weekend!
LOVE homemade granola!!!!!!! But I’ll bet I’ll love these cookies even more! Can’t wait to make them for Christmas cookies when I get home!
Hello,
I just had to comment on this cookie recipe, I made them today and they are loved by all. I now just have to keep everyone out of them so they can be used for lunches. With the intentions of making these I had made the Granola the other day (which my husband has proclaimed to be his favorite ever) I had to hide the granola so that there would be enough left for when I was able to get to making the cookies. Thank you so much for sharing. I appreciate your blog and recipes. I can not be sure of how I came by your blog but I am glad that I did.
Oh yum yum. I’d love to make these with my next batch of granola!
