Jumbo Breakfast Cookies Recipe | The Sweetest Journey

butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil is lower in saturated fat and adds a subtle flavor.

chocolate chips

🥗Healthier: dark chocolate chips

💰Cheaper: chocolate chunks

Dark chocolate has less sugar and more antioxidants.

nuts

🥗Healthier: seeds

💰Cheaper: sunflower seeds

Seeds are often cheaper and nut-free for allergies.

dried fruit

🥗Healthier: fresh fruit

💰Cheaper: raisins

Fresh fruit adds moisture and reduces sugar.

In a large mixing bowl, add butter, sugar, peanut butter, vanilla, and eggs. Beat at medium speed with an electric mixer until smooth.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.

Mix flour mixture into butter mixture in two additions at low speed, just until combined.

Fold in the oats, chocolate chips, and cereal until well combined.

Drop 1/2 cup portions of dough onto a parchment lined baking sheet, leaving about 4 inches of space between each drop.

Flatten cookies to about 3/4 inch thickness and round the edges.

Bake in a preheated oven at 375F for 12 minutes or until cookies are lightly browned around the edges.

Let stand in baking sheets 5 minutes, then remove to a wire rack and cool completely.
