Oatmeal Cranberry Granola Cookies

I know the secret to crunchy cookies!!! HOORAY!! I LOVE crunchy cookies, so this was totally amazing when I figured this out! So like it turns out all you need to do is lower the baking temperature but increase the baking time. I adapted an oatmeal cookie recipe to make super crunchy cookies and use up some leftover granola. I made these cookies normally, like norm temp and baking time, but they weren’t that good. So like I changed it for super crispy cookies and guess what.? They were DELISH!!! Oh and btw they have a hint of peanut butter and dried cranberries! It made the cookies taste like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich in cookie form!!
