A healthy cookie that tastes good. I thought this would be impossible, but Dorie comes through again. I even had to stop my health-nut Dad from grabbing the cookie dough before it was even baked! He was excited to have something healthy to eat instead of all the chocolate desserts and pies I’ve been making lately.To make them a little more fun, I baked them in the bottom part of an ice cream cone and topped them with a dollop of ice cream and sprinkles.
We were enjoying these outside on the front porch and the local squirrel must have smelled the peanuts and came within an arm’s reach hoping for his own cookie, I imagine!
Recipe
You can find the recipe for Granola Grabbers in the book Baking: From My Home to Yours by Dorie Greenspan or here. To see how the rest of the TWD group fared with this week's recipe, click here and then click on each blogger!
Tips for baking these cookies in ice cream cones: Push the dough right to the bottom of the cone so that there’s a bit of cookie in each bite. Bake them an extra 5-8 minutes in the cones so that the middle gets done.
Tasting NotesThese cookies were crunchy, chewy, and full of delicious surprises. I loved the combination of salty peanuts, raisins, coconut, almonds and granola. It makes them seem almost good enough to eat for breakfast! My kids were wishing I’d added chocolate chips, so I may try that next time, but I liked them as is.

very creative idea! umm, theh cookie dough WAS quite delicious. :)can't blame your dad for sticking his fingers in it!
I would never have thought of baking them in an ice cream cone! What an idea! And if you put a tiny scoop of ice cream on top, so it kind of melted down into the cookie.... oh my.
So cute! What a clever idea! I loved these cookies. I'm with the kids. Chocolate chips were good.

These look delicious, and very festive for parties. I am interested in decorating them a bit differently for the fall season. Can't wait to try!
