Hmmm, what to say about these um, cookies, if you will. They weren't bad. They weren't terribly life alteringly good either. They were decent cookies. I can't say that my granola grabbers were the same "healthier" version in the book, but mine were more like the rebellious spawn. I don't care for raisins in cookies, so I took them out and swapped them with white chocolate chips. I didn't feel like peanuts, and Glenn doesn't like slivered almonds, so I took those out as well. I subbed candied pecans in place of both types of nuts, and I must say that it was very wise to do so. My blend of french vanilla granola (courtesy of Fresh & Easy) along with the white chocolate chips, candied pecans, and dark brown sugar instead of light proved to be a tasty cookie.Glenn took some to work, as usual, and I got the dreaded "they were okay" comment from him. He said people liked them, but definitely weren't crazy about them like they were with my CCCs or the sinful brownies I made. Oh well, I can't be absolutely amazing all the time.
These aren't terribly attractive cookies either... hmmm.
Thanks to Michelle of Bad Girl Baking I ventured out and tried something I probably would have overlooked in the first place. I did enjoy these, and it was a fun process that was really very easy. This week's TWD in one word: crunchy

Mmmm Candied pecans! THAT sounds good!
I always find that when I bring cookies in, they don't get the same enthusiastic response as most cakes or brownies unless there's chocolate in them. But candied pecans sound amazing, I might have to try that sometime.
Yum. Candied Pecans - how cool.
I'm sorry this wasn't the hit that it was in my house. Candied pecans sound yummy!
The candied pecans do sound delicious. Your cookies looked great.
