I’ve got some vegan cookies for you again for Cookie Friday! Delicious (Chocolate Chip) Granola Cookies. Easy to prepare and faster gone than you can say “Cookie Monster”! Grab a glass of almond milk and a cookie and let’s find out, what we can do this weekend! ;)
By now I already have a bunch of cookie recipes on this blog… chocolate cookies, double chocolate cookies, something with nuts, berries, fruits, with flour and without, some with a filling most of them with no filling and also some vegan cookies. Not many of those but that section is also growing… slowly ;)
Today I can add another recipe to the “vegan category”. Delicious cookies with granola, oats, cranberries and chocolate chips. There is no white sugar in there, just maple syrup and the flour I used is whole wheat flour. You could say those cookies are kind of “healthy”… well at least healthier than double chocolate cookies with a Nutella filling :P
Anyways – these cookies are made in no time. Some mixing, cooling, and baking. That’s it. If you have all ingredients at home, you will have delicious cookies in less than an hour with just 10 minutes of actually working. Sounds good, right?! ;)
Let’s get that oven to the right temperature and then enjoy the weekend!

2. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with baking parchment. Use a spoon or cookie scoop to place small amounts of dough on the baking sheet with some space in between. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges get some color, but the center is still soft. Take out of the oven, let cool down on the baking sheet for some time, then transfer to a wire rack and let cool down completely.
2. Den Ofen auf 175°C (350°F) vorheizen. Ein Backblech mit Backpapier auslegen und dann mit einem Eßlöffel oder Cookie Scoop Teigportionen mit etwas Abstand auf das Blech setzen. Für 10-12 Minuten backen, bis die Ränder der Cookies Farbe bekommen, die Mitte der Cookies aber noch weich ist. Aus dem Ofen nehmen und auf dem Blech etwas abkühlen lassen, dann auf einem Kuchengitter komplett auskühlen lassen.

Notes
- Enjoy baking!
I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake - for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers - and it seems they like it most of the time ;) 
This is a really good recipe and I’ll make it again. I made a few alterations because of lockdown and not having all the ingredients, but it seems to be a pretty flexible recipe. I used white self raising flour and left out the baking powder+soda. I used honey instead of maple syrup (I’m not vegan) and I used coconut oil instead of margarine. I didn’t have any cranberries or dried fruit so I added desiccated coconut and mixed seeds. I was really surprised at how nice they are. I think your volume/weight conversion is a bit off because quarter of a cup of rolled oats was 45g for me, not 80g. Anyway, thanks for the recipe!
Yum!!!! Such and easy and tasty recipe. I didn’t have maple syrup but I had some leftover coconut sugar which I substituted. Thanks for a yummy recipe!!
Glad it worked with the coconut sugar!
Cheers

I recently tried some store bought granola cookies and have been searching for a recipe to replicate them and I finally found it!!
These are the yummiest cookies for the whole family, my daughters absolutely love them. I’ve baked them a few times now and they always turn out perfect! Such a great balance of flavours, chewy in the middle and vegan! I added pepitas for a bit of extra crunch
So delicious, thanks for the recipe :))
