Chewy Granola Apple Spice Cookies


If you love granola and you love big and chewy cookies, then you'll love this recipe for Granola Apple Spice Cookies.

This recipe perfectly combines granola, raisins and freshly grated apple with cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and cloves in these big and chewy cookie snacks.

Did you that cloves are actually dried flower buds from trees that are native to islands in Indonesia?

Most recipes use clove sparingly since they are very pungent and aromatic so a little of this spice goes a long way.

Clove is also one of the main ingredients in one of my favorite warm beverages, chai tea.

I think a freshly brewed cup of chai tea would taste great with these granola cookies - I'll have to try that soon!

These cookies are hearty and they travel well and can easily be packaged up and mailed to loved ones as well.
