C is for cookie...

Things have been very busy for us, thus the lack of blogging. We have been back and forth between Providence and the city trying to set up the new place and pack up our loved place in Providence. With all the shuffle we haven't really had the chance to cook. I've missed it!
Today was the first beautiful day of spring. That got me thinking of things that make me feel good. Cooking...and more specifically my favorite cookie recipe.
Try it out and let me know any tweaks you can think of to make these cookies taste even better.

2 cups packed brown sugar
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup vegetable shortening
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups granola (I use the granola varieties found at Whole Foods. I like the mixes with berries in them.)
2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
dash of salt
