Steps:
- Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or a large mixing bowl, place the butter, peanut butter, and brown sugar. Beat on medium-high speed for 2 minutes, until lightened in color and smoothly combined.
- Scrape down the bowl. Add the egg, milk, and vanilla and beat to combine. Stop the mixer to scrape down the bowl again as needed.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon and salt over the top.
- Sprinkle on the flour. Mix on low speed, just until the dough comes together and all bits of dry flour disappear.
- By hand or with the mixer on low, gently stir in the granola, chocolate chips, cranberries, and nuts.
- Portion the batter by generous ¼-cup-sized mounds onto the baking sheet, placing each cookie about 2 inches apart. With your fingers, gently flatten each cookie a little bit (they will not spread much during baking).
- Bake the granola cookies for 10 to 13 minutes, until lightly browned and dry to the touch at the edges and still slightly soft and the centers. The cookies will look a little underdone in the middle, but do not over bake or they will be dry. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 3 minutes, then gently transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling completely. (I slide the parchment paper straight onto the rack).

OATMEAL DRIED FRUIT COOKIES
These are the best oatmeal cookies I've ever had! Very buttery and very hearty. Any dried fruit works well such as cherries, raisins, cranberries, blueberries, or chopped apricots. For a really decadent treat, use chocolate chips and nuts instead of fruit.

OATMEAL GRANOLA COOKIES
I was in the supermarket one day shopping for a muffin recipe from the Barefoot Contessa. I had picked up french vanilla granola in hopes of using it in the recipe, but when I got home and tasted it the first thing I thought of was oatmeal cookies. So, the kids and I came up with this one. We get around 3 dozen or so from this recipe.

Tips:
- Use a large mixing bowl: The jumbo oatmeal granola and fruit cookies recipe makes a lot of dough, so it's important to use a large mixing bowl to avoid overcrowding.
- Measure your ingredients carefully: This is especially important for the dry ingredients, as too much or too little of any one ingredient can alter the texture and flavor of the cookies.
- Chill the dough before baking: This helps the cookies to hold their shape and prevents them from spreading too much in the oven.
- Bake the cookies on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet: This will help to prevent the cookies from sticking to the pan and make them easier to remove.
- Let the cookies cool completely before storing them: This will help them to set and keep their shape.
