Muesli Cookies

This recipe is adapted from Betty Crocker's Granola Cookie recipe. I'm not a big fan of granola personally and don't usually have any. But I do like a Blueberry Muesli from Trader Joe's that I keep in stock. So I added some coconut and raisins to the muesli and used that instead of granola. Sometimes I like to add chopped walnuts, too.  These cookies are hearty and chewy with chocolate chips, no less! If you're the type that can't decide between Oatmeal or Chocolate Chip- these are the cookies for you!
