This is a better version of a granola cookie recipe. It uses Sucanat (an unrefined sweetener-you can find it at Wegmans or at health food stores) and Hemp Plus granola, which is a lighter granola with puffs in it, and flaxseed. (Don't worry, it's safe to eat, even for children). These cook up light and airy, and taste heavenly. Note: they're a little less healthy if you eat the whole batch...*burp* Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter, room temperature |
1/2 cup sucanat or 1/2 cup light brown sugar |
1/3 cup natural-style chunky peanut butter (no sugar) |
1 egg |
2 teaspoons molasses |
1/2 cup whole wheat pastry flour |
1/2 teaspoon baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon |
2 cups hemp plus granola cereal (or other light, airy granola) |
1/2 cup raisins |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. Beat butter and Sucanat together until light and fluffy.
3. Beat in peanut butter.
4. Beat in egg and molasses.
5. Sift flour, salt baking powder and cinnamon into butter mixture, and stir until well blended.
6. Stir in granola cereal and raisins.
7. Drop by rounded tablespoonsful onto greased cookie sheet, 1 inch apart.
8. Flatten slightly with spoon.
9. Bake for 12 minutes, or until lightly browned.
10. Carefully remove to cooling rack-they will be soft and fragile but will harden once cooled.
