UDI’S GRANOLA CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

1 cup butter, softened

¾ cup packed brown sugar

1 egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

¾ cups of Udi’s Original Granola

1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a medium bowl, cream butter and brown sugar. Beat in egg and vanilla. Combine and sift flour, baking soda, and salt; stir into the creamed mixture. Finally, stir in the granola and chocolate chips. Drop dough by heaping teaspoonfuls onto greased cookie sheet, about 2 inches apart. Bake 14-17 minutes, until cookies are lightly browned around edges. Remove cookies to wire racks and allow to cool. Makes about 3 dozen.
