Ren-oaty Granoly Cookies
I decided to re-create a cookie I once had in Sonoma from a cute little coffee shop. It was this fantastic oat-based cookie with honey and nuts and seeds. It was filling and tasty, but not vegan. So I thought I would try it at home with my modifications. I’m very, very pleased with how they came out. Please try this at home.
