I made some granola chocolate chip cookies recently, and really wanted to try different versions on the theme. I loved the chocolate chips with the granola, but I wanted to do something just fruity, no chocolate. These cookies have wonderful bursts of crunchy granola blended with chewy dried apples and cranberries. The flavor is amazing, and they are absolutely delicious.
Granola Apple Cranberry Cookies
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) butter
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all purpose flour
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped dried apples
1/2 cup dried cranberries
2 cups granola (homemade or commercial)
Preheat the oven to 350F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract and beat until well combined. Add the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt and beat until completely incorporated. Stir in the dried apples and granola.
Scoop the dough using a cookie scoop (about 2 tablespoons) and place on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for about 12 minutes, until the top is just set and the edges are a light golden brown. Remove cookies from the oven and let cool on the pan for 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely. Makes about 2 dozen cookies.
Enjoy! -Cardamommy
