Crunchy Munchy Cookies
These chewy cookies were a runner up in the Ontario Home Ec Association Canola Cookie Contest 2012, submitted by Home Economist and cookbook author Emily Richards. Made with cereal and dried fruit, they are a play on breakfast. The cereal adds a unique texture, extra crunch and added fibre (but no one needs to know about)!
