tibetan goji berryI Never Knew Cookies Weren't for Breakfast

I love cookies. I do. I absolutely love making them, baking them, shipping them, but I especially love eating them. In my younger years I would always bake with my Grandma. Her specialty was Oatmeal Scotchies. I refer to them as oatmeal cookie converters. Oatmeal cookies get such a bad rap (I think it's the raisins). But these cookies make non-lovers of oatmeal cookies find a newfound appreciation. Taking after my grandmother I try to do the same-one raisin at a time; in oatmeal raisin cookies that is.

This Christmas I was thrilled to receive a cookbook titled "Big Fat Cookies". Could it get any better than that? Probably not. That's why I'm taking full advantage of my local grocery store and my one baking sheet. I've never bought buttermilk or corn syrup before in my life! But you better believe that when I learned that I could make Black and White cookies my heart skipped a beat and I rushed to the store to buy those atypical ingredients. Next in line is Marble Butterscotch cookies (loaded with brown sugar and swirls of dark chocolate) and then maybe Shortbread Hearts for the up and coming sweetheart holiday.

However, when I learned how much butter goes into a small batch of shortbread cookies my heart skipped a beat again! (Two sticks for just 18 cookies? You must be kidding!) And then my stomach started to rumble, and my heart... well my heart was in no mood to thank me for the amount of potential artery clogging fat I was going to be putting into my body. Talk about not keeping New Year resolutions. Now, mine is never to diet but to "eat better" and "exercise" and "read one new book every month". Back to the cookies though.

As a way to curb this dreaded feeling of all fat and no nutrition I looked for other recipes in my mouthwatering book. Lucky for me I stumbled upon "Morning Glory Breakfast Cookies". Now I know what you're thinking: "Cookies? For breakfast?" But in all seriousness, these cookies are simply loaded with goodies like dried cranberries, walnuts, almonds, raisins, oats and grains. I believe in moderation, and I believe these cookies will prove to be the perfect balance between fit and fat
I can't wait to bake them for breakfast. Forget what your mother told you-cookies are for breakfast!
