Cookie Granola

Melt:
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup coconut oil
Beat in:
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup honey
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
Add:
3 cups old fashioned oats
1/4 cup wheat germ
2 cups of any combination of the following:
         Dried fruit (cranberries, cherries, raisins, etc)
         Nuts (walnuts, pecans, hazelnuts, etc.)
         Chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, or white chocolate
         Shredded coconut

Stir thoroughly, until everything is coated with the butter mixture.

Spread evenly over a greased cookie sheet.
Bake at 350˚ F for about 20 minutes. Bake ONLY UNTIL edges start to brown. The center of the mixture should still be soft. Remove from oven, and place directly in freezer on hot pads for 10-15 minutes. This will make the soft center crisp, and cool the granola to a manageable temperature. When cool, pour into a sealable container for storage, or consume immediately.
