Breakfast Cookies

Breakfast cookies, what a great idea! I have been making these cookies at least 4 or 5 times in the last couple of weeks. My daughters have been having get-togethers with friends during the holidays and these cookies were a major hit.

Breakfast Cookies

breakfast cookies /anitalianinmykitchen.com

I love the fact that they are really easy to put together and quick to bake, made with yogurt and I used light butter so they are on the light side too. What could be better than that? Oh yeah, a dip or drizzle of unsweetened chocolate doesn’t hurt either.

These Breakfast Cookies are a cross between a cookie and a tea biscuit. Not too sweet which makes them perfect for breakfast. If you do like them a little sweeter, add a little jam or butter or as my youngest daughter says “a little Nutella won’t hurt a bit!”. My husband has a sweet tooth like no other and as my daughter was walking out of the house with these yummy Breakfast Cookies, we heard “hey, where are you going with those?”,  so then I knew these were a keeper.

        Rose – I love how these cookies seem as if they should be for dessert but are billed as “breakfast cookies.” I have a terrible sweet tooth and being able to say that I’m eating breakfast food makes it seem less wicked. Tell your daughter that she’s got company in the nutella-on-these dept:) Happy new year.

        They certainly look yummy and what I love about cookies is that you can make a grab and run. Now a cake or a pie is different — you have to cut a piece and then there is the evidence of a missing piece. Now taking a few cookies is not quite as obvious unless you leave crumbs in your wake. This is a keeper recipe.
