Peanut Butter Granola Cookie – Glam Radar

Peanut Butter Granola Cookie recipe : The more and more we cook and bake, the more we are able to experiment. Yes, its scary and sometimes not the result doesn’t taste good at all but sometimes you create something new and incredibly delicious.peanut-butter-granola-cookie

We bake a lot of cookies in this house and we’re purists when it comes to our chocolate chip cookies (NO NUTS!).  So we started to experiment with a couple of other cookies and we came up with something that included peanut butter, granola, raisins, and coconut milk. Its a variation on an oatmeal raisin/peanut butter cookie and of course we used our very favorite granola, Early Bird’s Choc-o-Doodle.

It may sound weird, but trust us, the texture, the taste, its all oh-so-good.
