How to Make Grand Ola Cookies Dipped In Chocolate Ganache

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Melt 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter in a saucepan. Add 1 cup packed light brown sugar and stir until smooth.
  3. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 large egg; stir to combine.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 2 cups Quaker granola, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Stir in 1 cup dried fruit mix (or raisins), 1/2 cup chopped nuts, and 1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet and bittersweet).
  7. Line two 14x16 inch baking sheets with parchment paper.
  8. Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  9. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until edges are golden brown.
  10. While cookies bake, prepare the ganache: Heat 1 cup heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat. Remove from heat and stir in 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips and 4 ounces bittersweet chocolate chips until smooth and creamy.
  11. Remove cookies from oven and let them cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
  12. Once cooled, dip one end of each cookie into the ganache. Place dipped cookies on wax paper or a silicone baking mat until the ganache hardens (chill for faster results).
  13. Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature.
