Definitely light, airy, and heavenly! These are soooo good! I used my own homemade granola and smooth peanut butter along with the sucanat and whole wheat pastry flour that I ground myself. I didn't sift it, and apparently there was no need to. They had a wonderful texture. This cookie could vary depending on what is in your granola - coconut, various nuts, cranberries, etc. As my family says about a new recipe that is great, "It's a keeper!"
