Awesome Granola-Chip Cookies
The original recipe is Awesome Oatmeal-Raisin Cookies by Dr. Bill Sears, The Healthiest Kid in the Neighborhood, 2006, page 304.
I modified his recipe based on what was in my pantry at the time.
½ cup coconut oil (if you're allergic to coconut oil, try grapeseed or EVOO)
½ tsp. baking soda
1 tbsp. ground cinnamon
1 tsp. vanilla extract
¼ tsp. baking powder
¼ tsp. sea salt
1 egg
1 ½ cups of granola
1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1 cup of chocolate chips
Heat oven to 365 degrees. Combine all wet ingredients then mix dry ingredients separately. Add dry to wet. The batter will be slightly loose. Drop the batter by the tablespoon on a cookie sheet and bake until light brown. The batter will spread while baking. Done in 7-9 minutes. Yields: 30 cookies.

Notes: Use parchment paper that's not bleached. This is for easy clean up.
The batter is already brown so you’ll have to watch for a smooth brown appearance. You may need to test one batch so bake only a couple until you get the feel for what they’ll look like when they’re done.
Choose, eat, and live well! =)
Now this is a cookie worth making.
