Dark Chocolate Chunk-Granola Cookies

Dark Chocolate Chunk-Granola Cookies
Recipe Tip
Dark Chocolate Delight
Dark chocolate contains some antioxidants that may help cells fight off oxygen damage. Just don't overdo it since chocolate also has plenty of calories and fat.
More Whole Grain
To boost whole grains, reduce the all-purpose flour by 1/2 cup and add 1/2 cup whole wheat flour in its place.

These cookies are delicious! They're soft, but yet, the granola gives them a great texture. They're not big on presentation, but perfect for around the house to cure that chocolate itch. Only needed 10 minutes of bake time as well. My only recommendation is to let the batter "rest" for about 20 minutes before baking. The cookies seemed to set-up better that way.

These cookies are very delicious! They are extremely soft cookies so you want to make sure you use the parchment paper (I didn't and I paid). Also, I only cooked them for about 10 minutes at 375 and not 12. They get really brown but they'll taste great!
