TWD-Granola Grabbers
This week's Dorie recipe was for Granola Grabbers - cookies made from granola, fruit, nuts, and coconut. They were chosen by Michelle of Bad Girl Baking.
These were kind of unusual cookies as they had no leavening, just the good stuff, butter, egg, and a little flour. They were actually really sticky and kind of gross when I was making them into the cookies, and came out greasy on the cookie sheet.
Now, 2 days later, they are much better and have set up into a nice, chewy cookie. I would probably make them with less sweet fruit next time, up the salt, and maybe add some chips. They are pretty sweet. All the better to go with a glass of milk!
I really liked the play of the salty peanuts against the sweetness, hence why I think it could do with even more salty goodness.
Next week is an ice cream torte. I think I'm going to have to at least half that recipe, given our ingestion of ice cream around here lately...

Ooooh, I liked the peanuts too. Besides the saltiness, I liked the texture they lent to the cookies.
Yours look fantastic... great job!
Your right, I didn't realize it till now, that there isn't any leavening:-) Guess I just wastn't paying too much attention! Glad you liked them!
I haven't done any of the Tuesdays With Dorie things, but I am suddenly wanting to make these cookies. It's fun looking at all the different Granola Grabber photos and seeing how each photo looks different.
ooo, i can't wait to try them in two days! i bet you are right!
Definitely more salt! But your cookies look great!!
Love the cherry glass!! I think the peanuts were so great in this recipe. Glad you enjoyed them.
I used pecans, because I had them, but thought the saltiness of the peanuts probably added a lot. Other TWDers didn't mention it, though, so I'm glad you did. That's what I'll do next time!
