Dorie thought of these cookies as the ultimate afterschool cookie. While my southern friends send their kids off to school, backpacks in hand as early as the 7th of August, my kids don't start until September 2nd and 15th. For now, though I'll grab a cookie and dream of a bit of peace and quiet. Come the first week of October, I'll bake another batch and think longingly back to the "lazy days" of summer, when I didn't spend so much time in carpool.
These cookies, chosen by Bad Girl Baking, were just awesome. I found some granola flavored with some orange oil at the grocery store and it added a really nice aroma to the cookies. Since I'm not a fan of peanuts, I left them out, adding some extra almonds and golden raisins. There is a sad looking half bag of chocolate chips in the pantry, which I thought of including, but forgot by the time I started mixing the chunks together. These cookies didn't miss the chocolate.
I had two cookies for breakfast, and given their addictive nature, sent most of the remaining ones with A. to work.

cookies for breakfast - oh yeah. they have orange [scent] in them, that makes them breakfast food in my book!
We start school earlier every year. I skipped the chocolate, too. These don't need them.
Wow, they start school late! And yes, the addictiveness of these cookies is dangerous...
Yum! these look fantastic! And I'm glad mom likes them too! That is the perfect after school snack!
Orange scented granola, yummy! Great job on the cookies!
Funny, as I was reading your post this morning, I have been debating if these would qualify for breakfast food, because I am really considering going to get a couple for breakfast! I think I will! Great job!
I'm digging the idea of the orange scented granola, too. I bet it was really lovely.
You were smart to send them to work!
I'm hoping time flies for you :)
I definitely agree that these cookies don't need the chocolate...great job!
Cookies for breakfast - a classic! Isn't the 'send them to work' a great solution for TWD products? Love the sound of the orange granola. You were smart to leave out the peanuts.
Orange scented granola? Are you serious?! That sounds awesome!
Orange oil......what a great idea. I will definatly have to choose a good granola when I make them again.
Very addictive and very good for breakfast. Heck, good for ANYTIME!
