It’s Valentine’s Eve! Live it up and have a Firecracker cocktail with the ones you love! I’ve had this in my recipe file for ages. I have no idea where it came from but it’s yummy! I used to love these after I had some liquid courage in me! ;-) It’s not usually my choice for a first drink. I’m not that brave! I dare you to give it a “shot!” Let me know how it goes! ;-)

Try these bad boys out! They are sooo yummy and even a little bit healthy, too.

3 cups granola without fruit
3/4 cup moist, plump raisins (dark or golden)
1/2 cup salted peanuts
1/2 cup slivered almonds
1/3 cup wheat germ
1-3/4 sticks (14 tbsp) unsalted butter, room temp
3/4 cup (packed) light brown sugar
1 large egg
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup all-purpose flour

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 375F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.

Put cereal in a large bowl and break up any clumps with your fingers. Add in craisins, peanuts, coconut. Mix together. Cream butter at medium speed for about 1-2 minutes. Add sugars and beat until creamy. Add in egg and salt. Reduce speed to low and slowly add in flour a little at a time until just blended.
Slowly add the cereal mixture and use a spatula to fold it into the cookie batter. Scoop out the cookie dough in 1/2-1oz balls (depending on how big you want the cookies) and arrange on baking sheet about 1-2 inches between each ball. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Cool to room temperature. Repeat with remaining dough.
