The title is a little “off” when referring to my cookies. My cookies should be called “Cranberry and Mini Chocolate Chip Cookies”. You see, I have been putting nuts in everything I’ve baked throughout the holiday season. This cookie was going to be different.
The original recipe can be found here …
Apple Crumbles version used 2/3 cup flour + 1/2 tsp baking powder + 1/2 tsp salt + 2/3 cup Simply Granola with Cranberries (the granola was instead of 1/3 c Rolled oats).
Mix all of the above in a bowl. Then cream the 1/2 c butter + 1/4 cup brown sugar (reduced from 1/3c in original recipe) + 1/2 cup granulated sugar. Now add 1 egg + 1 tsp vanilla. Mix in the 1/3 cup dried cranberries and 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips.
Bake for 12 – 15 minutes in a 350 F oven.
The result was not a pretty cookie.
But the best part was that it tasted SO GOOD!
With a little work, it ended up playing the part of a nice “give away” cookie.
Thanks Maria and Rosie for another terrific recipe from Sweet & Simple Bakes.

Oh wow… Thin and crispy cookies don’t usually do it for me, but I do believe I would make an exception for these….
Happy New Year!
Your cookies look amazing! Thanks for sharing
your cookies look great.. I prefer chewy ones to crisp cookies
Good looking pretty cookies ….
Thanks. I liked these cookies but they weren’t one of my favorites because, as Usha said, my preference is chewy as well.
Thanks for leaving a comment on my blog! Although your cookies turned out thin and crisp, they still look really good to me. I guess you could dip them in coffee but I could just eat them as is.
Using granola for oats is a great idea. I either have to make it or find one that is gluten free and kosher. I liked this cookie and so did hubby. That makes it a success.
Great job ! They were perfect for holiday goodie packages for sure…
I agree these cookies definately were good – I got an announcement of this from my hubby as he was eating them off the pan. Unfortunately, I have no pictures… camera mishap. Thanks for baking with us pictures or not!
Great idea using granola instead of oats – bet they tasted good.
How lovely aand crisp your cookies are !!
I love how you managed to change the recipe so much. The finished product looks just as wonderful as the original. Well done ;0)
Great idea to use granola.
