Anyhow, this assignment turned out far more involved than I'd planned, as I (of course) decided at the last minute that I'd rather make my own granola, using condensed milk and maple syrup for sweetener, and almonds, cinnamon, and ras al hanout for seasoning. I turned out a good batch (though a little sweet), and from there things went downhill. I must not have been too careful with exact amounts (it seemed like an improv cookie if there ever was one, because the first batch baked just didn't quite work. The dough around the granola and nuts never really solidified around the fillings, and seemed to have too much butter. I also left out the coconut. Here is the original recipe, with which I then played fast and loose.

what are they grabbing? (i.e. what is that filling?)
Granola! And nuts and seeds and dried fruit and it was also supposed to be coconut but I drew the line. I have now posted a link to the full recipe in the main body.
You'll have to try it again. Really. They're fabulous! Even I, who hates coconut, added it and thought it was good.
