Golden Grahams Cookies

This was a random find on my favorite site - Baking Bites. I never really had Golden Grahams as a kid (we were a Life and Cheerios family), but I was interested in how they would taste in a cookie. Um, they taste really good. I just finished dunking my second "test cookie" in a glass of cold milk and am wondering if I need a third just to be safe. My one change for future batches - I'd keep the cereal crumbs a bit larger.
