Chocolate Chip Granola Cookies with Almonds

Print Friendly, PDF & Email

I really like chocolate chip granola cookies – the added oats in the cookies gives them a chewy texture, they are very fragrant and make a delicious snack with a cup of coffee or tea. There is something about granola cookies that makes you feel “healthy”. However, I don’t really believe oatmeal makes them healthy with the sugar and butter inside, though they are certainly healthy for the soul 😉

Just before returning back to school, I decided to make these chocolate chip granola cookies with almonds that could fit very well in your lunch bag as a small sweet treat. They are golden and very tasty, made from only whole spelt flour, and are really easy to make. If desired, you can also add raisins or cranberries to enhance the flavors and textures.
