There is a whole lot of stuff in these little cookies. 

Sometimes I open the pantry, and just start taking things out that I'd like to use. Once the counter is full, I figure out what I'm making. That's kind of what happened when I made these cookies. I saw a bunch of random boxes, jars, and bags and thought: "Yeah, this stuff can make some after school cookies." They turned out great, and I ate too many. Way too many. They were just so good when they were warm! I don't think it would be an exaggeration to say I had 5 of them right off the pan.

1/2 C butter, softened

3/4 C brown sugar

1/2 C milk

1 1/2 C flour

1 C granola (or rolled oats)

1/2 C rolled oats

1/2 C dried cherries

1/4 C ground flax

1/4 C wheat bran

1 tsp cinnamon

1 1/2 tsp ginger

1 large apple, chopped

Beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add milk, and beat until mostly smooth. Combine remaining dry ingredients, and add to wet mixture. Mix until flour is incorporated. Fold in apples.

Spoon on to silpat or parchment lined baking sheet. Flatten slightly. Bake at 350` for 10-12 minutes. 

Try them warm. Mmmmm...
