Breakfast Cookies Recipe

Ingredients:

1 cup butter, melted
¾ cup honey
2 eggs
1 t. salt
1 t. cinnamon
1 t. baking soda
1 t. vanilla
1 t. almond extract
½ cup yogurt or buttermilk
2 cups whole wheat flour
2 cups whole rolled oats
1 cup mini chocolate chips or raisins

Preparation

Mix butter, honey, eggs, salt, cinnamon, soda, vanilla, almond extract and yogurt. Stir in flour and oats. Fold in raisins or chocolate chips. Scoop heaping tablespoons of dough onto a cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes. Allow cookies to cool 3-4 minutes on cookie sheet before removing cookies to cool on a wire rack.

Using a medium scoop, this recipe yields a little over 3 dozen cookies.  This recipe usually leaves my family with cookies for a treat later and even some for the next day.

Tip

Make this mixture in bulk.  Scoop out onto metal cookie sheet and flash freeze.  Pack frozen balls by the dozen or 2 dozen into gallon size freezer bags.  Lay out a bag the night before you want to serve them for breakfast.
