For 3 dozen, 2 1/2 to 3 inch cookies, you will need the following:

Preparation:  Cream butter and sugars until fluffy; beat in egg and vanilla.

Mix flour, salt and soda.  Gradually blend into creamed mixture.  Stir in granola and raisins.

Drop by heaping teaspoons onto greased or nonstick baking sheets.

Bake at 375 degrees until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes.  Let stand a few minutes on baking sheets before removing to wire racks to complete cooling.

Tips:  These rich, crisp cookies freeze well.  You might like to bake a double batch and freeze half of them in a sturdy covered container.

Fresh apples make these cookies stay moist and chewy.  Nutritionally, they are great for the kids, but they are excellent to serve with pudding or ice cream for dessert too.

For 4 dozen cookies, you will need the following:

Preparation:  Cream butter with sugar.  Add salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, coriander, cloves and egg, blend well.

Stir in flour with baking soda and milk until well blended.  Stir in the apples.

Drop by small spoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets.  Bake at 400 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes or until cookies are firm when touched, but not overly browned.

Meanwhile, stir together butter, powdered sugar, maple flavoring and milk to make a smooth glaze.  Dot the top of each cookie with about 1/2 teaspoon of glaze.   Cool.  Allow glaze to set before storing in an airtight container.
