Chewy Granola Cookies

Ingredients:

1 cup butter, softened to room temperature
2/3 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups whole wheat
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 cups granola (I used my homemade spiced version which you can get from my ebook)
2/3 cup dried cranberries or raisins
1/2 cup (3 ounces) mini chocolate chips

Method:

Preheat the oven to 180° C. Line baking sheets with baking, or lightly grease with cooking spray. Set aside.
In a large bowl with an electric handheld mixer cream together the butter and brown sugar, until light and fluffy, 1-2 minutes. Add the eggs and vanilla and mix until the batter lightens in color a bit, 1-2 minutes.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt. Add to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
With a wooden spoon, stir in the granola, cranberries and chocolate chips until combined.
Scoop balls of dough, about two tablespoons in size onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing a couple cm apart .Bake for 10-12 minutes.
Remove to a cooling rack to cool completely.
