How to Make Bigfatmommas Healthy Granola Cookies

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and ¾ cup sucanat until light and fluffy.
3. Beat in ½ cup creamy peanut butter until well combined.
4. Add 1 large egg and 2 tablespoons molasses; mix until just incorporated.
5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
7. Stir in 2 cups hemp granola cereal (with puffs) and ½ cup raisins.
8. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving 1 inch between each cookie.
9. Gently flatten each cookie slightly with a fork or the back of a spoon.
10. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Baking time may vary depending on your oven.
11. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. They will firm up as they cool.
