Cookies for breakfast? Believe it or not, this is a real thing! Breakfast cookies are perfect for on-the-go mornings when you need something quick and filling. They’re also great if you just don’t feel like cooking in the morning. But what are breakfast cookies? Basically, they’re cookies that are made with healthier ingredients like oats, seeds, and dried fruit. They’re still delicious and full of flavor, but they won’t leave you feeling weighed down. So if you’re looking for a new way to start your day, give breakfast cookies a try!
