Receta Granola Cookie Wedges
Sometimes you just need chocolate and you need it quick. While cookies are a quick fix, even that can be cumbersome if you don’t have a stash ready in the freeze just waiting to be baked. Then you may feel the guilt because you really want something, but you know you shouldn’t. Enter these granola cookie wedges. They are so tasty and so quick to make. Actually, they can be very dangerous as well to someone with no will power like myself. The first one I made was finished within an hour. The second batch didn’t last too long either. Granted, my family helped me out. But with little effort and the addition of oats and pecans, you get the indulgence you want without suffering the guilt afterwards.
