OATMEAL GRANOLA COOKIES
I was in the supermarket one day shopping for a muffin recipe from the Barefoot Contessa. I had picked up french vanilla granola in hopes of using it in the recipe, but when I got home and tasted it the first thing I thought of was oatmeal cookies. So, the kids and I came up with this one. We get around 3 dozen or so from this recipe.

OATMEAL GRANOLA COOKIE BALLS
The title is the best way to describe these healthy treats. It is technically a cookie, but does not bake like one. They taste like a nutrition bar, but in a ball form. They're packed with healthy fats and grains and are perfect little snacks for adults and kids. My daughter favors these cookies over regular ones.
