Breakfast Cookies

Sometimes we want breakfast for dinner and sometimes we want dessert for breakfast. Who am I to argue? These cookies are my solution to busy mornings and trust me on this, it’s a winner.

I find myself struggling to get back into the groove of things after our winter break. Every morning seems rushed and I barely have the time to pack the boy’s lunches before it’s time to get out the door.

Breakfast has definitely been put on the back burner, and I’m not talking about pancakes people.

Enter these outrageously awesome Cranberry Almond Breakfast Cookies because if we could all have our way, cookies are the best way to start our day! I added all kinds of tasty ingredients to these cookies to make them extra filling and delicious: wheat germ, oats, cranberries, almonds, peanut butter, and cinnamon.

The cookies are also made with half all purpose flour and half wheat. (You could use all AP flour if you prefer.) I used Challenge Butter because it is made with 100% real cream. The cows that produce this milk are not treated with the growth hormone rbST.  It’s a butter that I feel good about feeding to my family and is the perfect addition to these healthy breakfast cookies.

Feel free to change the add-ins to create your new favorite breakfast cookie. I love cranberries and almonds together but there are so many different variations to try. When you’re short on time, these Cranberry Almond Breakfast Cookies are what you want on hand, and trust me, your kids will thank you!

    Hi Trish, While I’m waiting for my mixture to chill before baking, I wanted to send you a note that after step 5, I added the wet to the dry and thoroughly mixed it all before it went into the fridge. That was right to do, yes? Seems like a duh question and answer to me but wanted to be 100%. Thanks! I am sure the cookies will be awesome and the kids will be excited to see them for breakfast! haha! Thanks for all your fab recipes! Dawn

    How many cookies does this make at what size? Looks like a big batch with big quantities of ingredients. I need to know to see If I can cut the recipe in half and still make the work and mess worthwhile. Thanks

      Replace the wheat flour with white flour and eliminate the wheat germ – no substitution needed.

    You are my kind of girl! In high school, I used to often go to the cafeteria and buy a huge chocolate chip cookie for breakfast. Not exactly the “breakfast of champions.” But these are cookies I don’t have to feel guilty about! Yeah. I’m totally going to make these.
