Oatmeal Granola Cookies

• 1/2 cup softened butter
• 1/2 cup shortening
• 1 cup dark brown sugar
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon double strength vanilla extract or 2 teaspoons regular strength vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon allspice
• 1 1/2 cups oats
• 1 1/2 cups granola cereal, I use french vanilla with almonds
• 3/4 cup dried fruit, I use raisins

1. Preheat oven to 350. In a bowl mix flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder and spices till well blended. Set aside.
2. In another bowl, beat butter, shortening and sugars until light and creamy. Then add the eggs one at a time until they are blended. Add the vanilla beat until well blended, about a minute.
3. Add the flour mixture to the butter and sugar mixture. When dough is well blended, fold in fruit, oats and granola. Break your granola into manageable pieces if needed.
4. Drop by rounded teaspoon onto pan. We lined our pans with wax paper but whatever you choose to do to your pans is up to you. Bake for 10 - 12 minutes. Oven temps vary, so keep an eye on your cookies !
