This week's TWD almost didn't happen. It's been a rough few days for me and I haven't felt terribly motivated to update the blog. I've actually got a backlog of tasty treats I've made that need to be posted but those will have to wait for another, better, day. So, it'll be a short entry this week but hopefully I'll be back to blogging as usual in a few days.
Michelle of Bad Girl Baking chose this week's TWD recipe: granola grabbers! It's been a while since TWD made cookies so I was pleased with this week's selection. That said, when I looked down the ingredient list I became a little skeptical. I don't care for peanuts and I didn't have any wheat germ and honestly, these cookies just seemed a little too healthy :-) I soldiered on though because Dorie rarely disappoints.
I made a half batch because there aren't enough people in my house to eat 40 cookies. The wheat germ was replaced by whole wheat flour and I left out the peanuts and doubled the almonds instead. After reading some of the other TWD posts I wished I'd added some chocolate chips too but maybe next time!
The cookies were quick and easy to make and surprisingly, really delicious! I enjoyed them a lot more than I expected to and will definitely make them again.
Head over to Michelle's blog for the recipe and if you're curious, check out the other bakers at TWD as there was a lot of variety in the cookies this week!

Sorry you had such a rough week - I hate those. I hope things get better asap. Your cookies look great!
It's nice to be pleasantly surprised sometimes, isn't it? I hope your week starts looking up.
You know, I thought the two of us wouldn't get through 40 cookies either... boy, was I wrong.
Hope your week looks up.
40 cookies was TOO easy to get through at my house! I'm glad you liked the recipe.
Glad to hear the cookies came through for you. Your pictures are great.
Sounds like you had a lot going on, so thanks for sharing your cookies...they look fantastic!
Great job! I wish I had added chocolate chips too. I made 1/2 a batch as well :)
I did a half-batch, too. Dorie must feed A LOT of people. ;)
I'm sorry you're having such a tough time right now. Hopefully these cookies lifted your spirits a bit :)
They look so healthy!
Hope you are feeling better! The cookies look great. You're right about Dorie, she rarely disappoints.
