Raisin Granola Cookies

Directions

Preheat oven to 350℉ (180℃).

In a large bowl, measure all ingredients except raisins and peanuts.

With mixer at low speed, beat ingredients until just mixed; increase speed to medium and beat 2 minutes, occasionally scraping bowl with rubber spatula.

Stir in raisins and peanuts until mixture is well blended.

Drop dough by heaping teaspoonfuls, about 2 inches apart on greased cookie sheet.

Bake 10 to 14 minutes at 350℉ (180℃) F until cookies are lightly browned around edges.

Remove cookies to wire racks and allow to cool completely.

Store cookies in a tightly covered container up to 1 week.

Variations: Chocolate-Granola Cookies: prepare dough as for Raisin Granola cookies but substitute 6 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate pieces for half cup of raisins.

Date-Granola Cookies: Substitute 1 cup of chopped, pitted dates for raisins.
