On my way to work, I used to stop by a bakery that took the granola bar – a popular American treat invented by Stanley Mason in the 1970s – one step further by turning it into a cookie. Chewy and soft in the center like a granola bar but distinctly cookie-like in its shape and texture. These cookies were my breakfast on the go or mid-day energy-boosting snack. I was obsessed. Then one day the bakery stopped selling them.
This recipe is my attempt at recreating that granola cookie. Adapt it as you wish – throw in your favorite dried fruit, nuts, or spices and be creative!
