Granola Cookie Wedges

Sometimes you just need a something sweet and sometimes that something sweet just needs to be a cookie.  Cookies in moderation are fine, but cookies that are a little healthier are even better!  Give these a try, they are fast and easy because you don't have to scoop out individual cookies and rotate through baking pans.  Throw the dough in one pan, one baking time and enjoy!

Granola Cookie Wedges
Makes 8 servings

1/3 cup dark brown sugar
2 T canola oil
1 T butter, melted
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 large egg white
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup quick-cooking oats
1/4 cup chopped pecans, toasted
2 T semisweet chocolate chips
Cooking spray

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Combine first 7 ingredients (through egg white) in a large bowl; stir until well combined. Lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife. Add flour, oats, nuts and chocolate chips to sugar mixture; stir until just combined.

Scrape the dough into a 9-inch glass pie plate coated with cooking spray and spread to edges using a spatula. Bake for 13 minutes or until set. Cool slightly on a wire rack.  Cut into 8 wedges.
