Dorie’s Granola Grabbers
24 Aug
Granola Grabbers are brought to you by Michelle of http://badgirlbaking.com/. After reading her post I think she is really a great girl. What is it about mixing up flour, sugar, butter, etc. that brings forth a transformation “as if” bakers are creators. I love the experience, don’t you?
This is my first post and from the looks of it…. ar ar ar, I’m new to this whole blogging scenario. Although, reading them has been a hobby of mine. So, if you have read any of the about me stuff, well, I bake and others eat. That way the work out at the gym keeps sizes in check. You know!
A little late to the finish line but I scrambled, to the store, back home, and magically these Granola Grabbers came together lickety split. I was surprised how simple. My son the photographer wasn’t home from football practice, so I snapped a few shots. Not being the photo-talent that he is, you’ll have a giggle, but I stopped the process to take a few photos while mixing up. Which in turn, gave me a some ideas. Like: Okay, here we go ladies/gentlemen bakers. The kind of granola you use has to have an impact on how the cookies taste. I picked up some Cascadian Farm Organic, honey and oat. It seemed to be one of the most straightforward i.e. without fruit. “Grabbed” the wheat germ off the shelf, you know its gotta be healthy so far, right? he he Anyway, well like a lot of us chocoholics out there, had to have chocolate, so the chips came into the mix, minus the raisins. Pulled out the scales, converted the butter measurement to ounces and changed part of the butter to peanut butter. Try it ! You might like it too. I don’t know for sure, maybe someone else did it too. I’m sorry ladies and gents. Still getting through all 250 of the membership. What fun! Thats about it. Anyway, I gave them to a “Birthday Club” neighbor after my football son had some and I had some. We deemed them “keepers”. I’ll definitely make them again! For “Friends”. Thanks Dorie!
Welcome to TWD! Love the idea of peanut butter in those cookies. PB makes just about anything better!
PB in the grabbers!!! Great Idea. I thought about it, but wasn’t sure how to do it, so thanks for that variation. And welcome to TWD. We have fun.
Thanks so much for the warm welcome!!! Love that you are fond of peanut butter too! I really look so forward to all the get-togethers online baking. Thank you for reading.

Welcome to TWD. From one newbie to another, hello and happy baking!
Amy Ruth, I just realized that this post is what gave me the idea to sub out some peanut butter for some butter in the peanut butter oatmeal cookies. I’ll be sure to credit you in my write-up! It worked really well for me.
