Granola Cookies

I have been craving something sweet.  This is a simple recipe but is delicious and will fit the bill.  This is an old recipe, one that I used when I was teaching high school home economics in 1975. 



I used what was in my kitchen.  Rather than peanuts, I had some walnuts.  I used my homemade granola so it was already very rich with nuts and fruits.  I threw in some more raisins and I had a partial package of white chocolate chips.



p.s.  you can tell this is from 1975 by the size of the cookies...drop by teaspoonfuls!  Can you imagine!  Now we select the size of ice cream scoop we will use!

1/2 cup peanuts (unsalted)



Sift dry ingredients together.  Cream butter with sugars.  Add egg and beat until foamy.  Add dry ingredients into mixture.  Mix.  Add raisins and peanuts.  Drop by heaping teaspoonfuls about 2" apart on a greased cookie sheet.  Bake 12-15 minutes at 375F.
