We liked the added granola and the fact that it kept it's crunchy texture after cooking. Rated a little lower than I had hoped bc as written is is very moist and flattens too much even without greasing the pan. Adding the extra flour might help next time. Thanks for sharing!

Good flavor. A little sweet even though I cut the sugar down a 1/4 C. I think I will add 1/2 C more flour next time. After the first batch I turned the oven down to 350 and baked for only 10 minutes. The cookies were too thin and started to burn at 12 min at 375.

These cookies were a great way to use the homemade granola that we made a few days ago but were sick of. Delicious!

Yummy! I used a Fruit and Nut Granola and just added a bit extra and omitted the nuts.

Very good cookies! Don't bake for longer than 12 min if you don't want them real crispy.

Wow. These are AMAZING. The taste is absolutely fantastic. We used pecans instead of peanuts, but everything else was exactly the same. The granola we used was nice and chunky. The cookies were baked to perfection at 13 minutes. Like another reviewer said, they are chewy and crunchy at the same. Absolutely delicious! This recipe is a total keeper.

Great recipe, but I reduced the butter(used margarine) to 3/4 cup, and DO NOT grease the pan--I think this is why everyone's cookies are coming out so flat. I also used 1/2 cup whole wheat flour, and 1 cup regular flour. Instead of 1 cup chocolate chips, I used about 2/3 cup chocolate chips and 1/3 cup raisins, and added no nuts (my granola had nuts). I found they only need to bake for 10-12 minutes. YUM!

Yum! IThe only change I made was to use walnuts instead of peanuts. They were very tasty cookies, chewy and cruchy at the same time.

Wow, this is a great recipe. The only thing better than the flavor is the smell when they are cooking!!! I used an extra 1/4 cup flour as suggested. I used half white half whole wheat flour and I used a mixture of walnuts and pecans instead of peanuts. Wow, these really got rave reviews at work and I will definitely make them again. Thanks!

Only ok. This recipe probably depends on which granola you use. My granola was fairly powdery and mostly oats, maybe something sweeter or crunchier would be better. As it was the cookies were like somewhat fancy chocolate chip cookies. They were totally flat but had the normal cookie texture. Leave plenty of space between cookies on tray and don't push down at all, just drop. Followed recipe exactly except I acidentally almost melted the butter instead of just softening. Only took 10 minutes to bake, would have burnt by 15 minutes.

My first tray of cookies came out flat like a previous reviewer described. So I added 3/4 cup flour to the remaining batter. The rest turned out rounded. I took these cookies to work and most everyone liked the flat ones the best! If I make them again, I will add only 1/4 cup flour to the 1 1/2 cups already called for.

Well, I agree that the taste was great and I really like the flavor combination. But when I made up this recipe the cookies were completely flat. Not what I expected. So I stirred in another cup of flour and they baked up like your usual chocolate chip cookie. Much better. I'm not sure if I did something wrong or if the recipe has a typo, but all's well that ends well.

Cookie was deliciously crunchy and sweet. Was also able to use up our granola cereal which we'd become tired of eating. Both my six year old and myself loved it.

Fabulous! I didn't have any unsalted peanuts so I used some chopped cashews and almonds, which were already in my homemade granola. Tasted great! Eat warm out of the oven with a glass of milk. Note: I only needed about 10 - 11 mins. to bake. Thanks for a great recipe, "K"!
