Chocolate Chip Cookie Granola

 

1 tsp cinnamon

2 1/2 cup old-fashion rolled oats

1/4 cup ground flax seed

1 cup sliced almonds

1 cup chopped pecans

1/3 cup dried cranberries

1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

1/2 cup peanut butter chips

Instructions:

Let cookie dough stand at room temperature 10 minutes until soften.

Meanwhile, heat oven to 325 degrees.  Line 2 large cookie sheets with parchment paper.  In a large bowl, mix cookie dough and cinnamon.  Add oats, flax seed, almonds, pecans, and cranberries; knead into dough until well blended.  Crumble mixture evenly on cookie sheets.

Bake both cookie sheets at the same time 17 to 22 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes and rotating cookie sheets halfway through baking, until light golden brown.  Cool completely on cookie sheets, about 30 minutes.

Break granola into smaller pieces if necessary.  In a large bowl, mix granola, chocolate chips and peanut butter chips.  Store in a large resealable plastic bag, or store in 1/2 cup amounts in small plastic bags for ready-to-go snacks.
