Morning Glory Breakfast Cookies
These cookies are based off of the ingredients in a classic Morning Glory muffin. The flavors work perfectly as a variation on a chewy oatmeal cookie. I love them for a quick breakfast full of fiber or a sweet, micronutrient-rich afternoon snack. This is a great recipe for baking some of the cookies and freezing the rest, that way you can pop them in the oven as a last minute, nourishing treat!
In this recipe I use this scoop for small cookies, you could make larger or smaller versions, just adjust your cook time up or down respectively.

- 1.5 cups flour

Instructions

- Then, fold in oats, carrot, apple, cranberries, raisins, and seeds.
- Using a scoop, or large spoon, place the portioned dough on the baking sheets about 2 inches.

Notes
This dough freezes very well. When the cookies are portioned on the cookies sheet place them in the freezer for 4-6 hours, then place the uncooked, frozen cookies in an airtight container or freezer storage bag. When you’re ready to bake follow the normal baking instructions adding 3-5 minutes of cook time.
