DOUBLE-CHIP PEANUT BUTTER-GRANOLA COOKIES

Category: Cookies

1 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 cup crunchy peanut butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 large eggs
2 1/2 cups flour
2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
3 cups granola with almonds
1 (12-oz) pkg semisweet chocolate morsels
1 (10-oz) pkg peanut butter morsels

Beat butter at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy. Gradually add sugars, beating until smooth. Add peanut butter and vanilla, beating until blended. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating after each addition.

Combine flour, baking soda, and salt; gradually add to butter mixture, beating at low speed just until blended. Stir in granola and morsels; cover and chill 2 hours. Shape dough into 1 1/2-inch balls, and place the balls 2 inches apart on baking sheets. Bake at 375 for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden. Cool on baking sheets 5 minutes. Remove to wire racks to cool completely.

Note: For larger cookies, drop by 1/4 cupfuls onto baking sheets. Bake at 375 for 18 to 20 minutes.
