I tried a new cookie recipe this weekend. Inspired by the Cheer up cookies from "When Circumstances Are at Their Worst" by Ysabetwordsmith. 
 The OG recipe is Granola Chocolate chip Cookies.  Instead of homemade granola I used store bought granola cereal with dried strawberries, raspberries & blackberries. I used double the sunflower kernals instead of adding almonds, since my partner doesn't like Almonds. I used semi sweet bakers chocolate instead of chips.  I made about 12 cookies and then I made cookie bars with the rest of the dough. 

The cookies & bars are more dark & bitter then I expected from a chocolate chip cookie. Next time, I think I will try a different granola, maybe homemade & use more & lighter chocolate. J & I both like the bars better then the cookies. They are soo good with a cup of tea or milk.

Bakers chocolate runs more bitter in any style. Chips or candy bar would be sweeter. Try semi-sweet chips for a moderate change or milk-chocolate chips for a larger change. Gourmet dark chocolate is another option if you want something dark but not bitter. Ghiradelli and a few other brands make those.
