Breakfast Cookies
"Yes, you heard me right! Who says you can't have dessert for breakfast? You can store these little gems in the freezer, for a quick portable breakfast treat. Serve them with a piece of fruit and yogurt tubes, or a glass of milk to help round out breakfast. Mix and match the optional ingredients to suit your taste. Some of the combination's we like: Yogurt chips, dried cranberries and coconut, Chocolate chips and raisins, Chopped apricots, toasted pecans and coconut."
