👩🏻🍳Expert Tips
Tip 1: You can use parchment paper when making this granola cookies recipe instead of greasing the cookie sheet.
Tip 2: You can use a cookie scoop when making these healthy granola cookies. This is our favorite cookie scoop set.
Tip 3: I used granola that contained raisins and almonds which I think are a fabulous addition to these cookies. Feel free to use your favorite granola, but I would skip plain granola on these cookies since the additional ingredients make them so interesting.
