TWD~Granola Grabbers

This weeks recipe I would have to say was very good. We made a few changes though, we skipped the peanuts, almonds and raisins. Instead we used pecans, cranberries and added cinnamon extract, we decided to go for a more fall feel! We also accidentally forgot the wheat germ! Whoops! But we did use all whole wheat flour so I think that's maybe why they turned out. We brought these to our church potluck and everyone really liked them! Thank you Michelle for picking this recipe we really enjoyed it!

Mmmm. Fresh Oatmeal cookies!
