Ingredients

1: roll (16.5 oz) Pillsbury® refrigerated peanut butter cookies

1/2: teaspoon ground cinnamon

2 1/2: cups old-fashioned oats

1: cup sliced almonds

1: cup chopped pecans

1: cup flaked coconut

1/3: cup raisins

1/3: cup sweetened dried cranberries

1/2: cup mini chips semi-sweet chocolate

1/2: cup peanut butter chips

1 Let cookie dough stand at room temperature 10 minutes to soften.

2 Meanwhile, heat oven to 325°F. Line 2 large cookie sheets with sides with nonstick foil or cooking parchment paper. In large bowl, mix cookie dough and cinnamon. Add oats, almonds, pecans, coconut, raisins and cranberries; knead into dough until well blended. Crumble mixture evenly on cookie sheets.

3 Bake both cookie sheets at the same time 17 to 22 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes and rotating cookie sheets halfway through baking, until light golden brown. Cool completely on cookie sheets, about 30 minutes.

4 Break granola into smaller pieces if necessary. In large bowl, mix granola, chocolate chips and peanut butter chips. Store in large resealable food-storage plastic bag, or store in 1/2-cup amounts in small food-storage bags for ready-to-go snacks. Store up to 3 days.
