Breakfast Cookie
Cookie – breakfast, combine the two and you have a hit on your hands. I mean who does not like a cookie for breakfast. Breakfast Cookie? Who ever heard of such a wonderful thing? Well that would be me, and I have been making these since my kiddo was a toddler. Being a busy working mom, it was an imperative that I find hand held, easy to transport, protein packed breakfast foods. This recipe fit the bill. Feel free to sub the peanut butter for sunflower butter, but be warned. When sunflower butter is cooked it turns green – not the outside of the cookie, but the inside once you break them open. I discovered this scientific factoid by accident and was totally unprepared for the end result. Now that I know this happens, I make them this way for St. Patrick’s Day.
