I love cookies. They are with out a doubt my favourite treat. Sometimes I will just crave one and then go straight to the kitchen and start baking up a batch; a big production with a worthy reward. But then I came across a recipe format he cookbook, Feeding the Whole Family, for a chocolate chip cookie recipe that was simple and fast yet nutritious and yummy. I made a minor change to make it a quicker bake and then passed it on to friends and patients. People loved the cookie and many people turned it into a breakfast cookie. Instead of the chocolate chips, you can add walnuts and apples or coconut with almonds. The key is to be creative with the base recipe and then add a smoothie. Voila! A very nutritious breakfast.

Yummy Granola Cookies

1 ½ cup of any type of granola

1 cup of spelt (or any type of flour)

½ cup of maple syrup

1/3 cup of softened butter

1 tsp of vanilla

• optional: 1/3 cup of a type of nut, chocolate chips, apples, pears, cranberries, raisins, coconut or even seeds

1. Preheat oven to 350F
2. Combine granola and flour in a bowl
3. In another bowl mix together maple syrup, butter and vanilla
4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix well. Stir in the optional treats.
5. The dough maybe a little sticky, but form as best you can on a lightly greased cookie sheet.
6. Bake for 15 minutes, but be sure to check because everyone’s stove is slightly different.

Enjoy!
