I am calling these cookies “breakfast cookies” because I think they are healthier than your average cookie, enough to have for breakfast once in a while.
I adapted these from a lunch box cookie recipe in Kid Favorites Made Healthy.
Here is what you need:
1/2 cup butter (I like Smart Balance)
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup packed down brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 large or extra large egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup flour (if you want to make it even healthier, I bet you could substitute
whole wheat pastry flour)
1 cup quick rolled oats
Cream butter and peanut butter with mixer, then add sugars and baking soda. Add egg and vanilla. Stir in flour and oats.
Spoon a rounded teaspoonful about 2 inches apart on cookie sheet. I gave mine a quick spray with vegetable oil even though the original recipe says ungreased. Bake for about 8 minutes in a preheated 375 degree oven.
Makes about 2 1/2 to 3 dozen.
Hope you enjoy!

See now I would never tell my son that they might be healthy, so he would think I was cool for letting him eat cookies for breakfast. Thanks for sharing.
These sound and look delicious! Peanut butter and Oatmeal – a good combination to make them tasty and good for you!

Hi Margo,
Now who wouldn’t just love a cookie for breakfast, it looks delicious! Hope you are having a great holiday week end. Thank you so much for sharing with Full Plate Thursday and hope you will come back soon!
Miz Helen
You had me with cookies for breakfast! These look yummy, I think I’m going to have to try them out. Thanks for the recipe.

Must try these! Had to pin them!
I have been wanting to try these. I think they’d be “healthy”, too, and somewhat filling. I mean, really, we eat donuts, coffee cake, cinnamon rolls for for breakfast. Why not something with peanut butter and oats.
YUM! These sound delicious!
Thank you for this recipe!
Congratulations!
Your recipe is featured on Full Plate Thursday this week. Hope you are having a great week and enjoy your new Red Plate.
Miz Helen
