Preheat oven to 350~ 1 c Butter/marg, softened

3/4 c Sugar

3/4 c Brown sugar, packed

2 Eggs

1 ts Vanilla extract

1 1/2 c Flour

2 c Granola (i like the kind

With fruit added) 1 c Rolled oats

1 ts Baking powder

1/4 ts Salt

1 c Raisins

1 c Semi-sweet chocolate chips

Cream butter and sugars together well. Beat in eggs one at a time. Add vanilla. Add remaining ingrediants (it works best if the are mixed together first). Drop by spoonfulls (a mechanical ice cream scoop works well) onto a greased (or with parchment paper) cookie sheet. Bake at 350~F (180C) oven for 10-12 minutes. Options: substitute the chocolate chips for the same amount in dark chocolate bars ("Burnt Almond" is my favourite) cut in to chunks. : Add candied cherries, sprinkles etc. Recipe submitted by Mary Lou Kakanowski.
