No-Bake Granola Cookies

What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Uplifting Aromas: No-Bake Granola Cookies! I’m learning something new everyday. Honestly, I had no idea granola came with a boost of coffee flavor. That makes sense because when I checked the ingredient list on the package, sure enough….coffee was actually there. I sampled a taste before making the cookies and realized this could be a match made in heaven, especially when paired with chocolate and peanut butter. A little more research revealed not only does iced coffee come in this popular combination, but also milkshakes and ice cream. Perhaps I need to explore these other foods that offer a mind-boggling caffeine jolt. Now we’re talking. 

NO-BAKE GRANOLA COOKIES

Ingredients:

1/2 cup peanut butter, creamy

1/2 cup Tupelo honey

1/4 cup brown sugar

2 cups coffee booster granola, slightly crushed in a mini chopper

1/4 cup quick oats

1/3 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions:

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine creamy peanut butter, Tupelo honey, and brown sugar. Microwave on High setting for 30 seconds. Stir completely and microwave on High 60 seconds longer. Stir again and set aside. In a mixing bowl, combine coffee booster granola and quick oats. Pour warm peanut butter mixture over top. Mix well. Line a baking sheet with waxed paper. Place mini chocolate chips in a shallow dish. Using a cookie scoop, portion dough into rounded cookies. Firmly press mini chocolate chips into the top. Place each cookie, chocolate chip side up, onto the waxed paper. Repeat until all dough is formed into bite-sized cookies. Chill slightly to set. Store in a sealed container.
