monster breakfast cookies

Here's a delicious recipe tht I make at least once a month. They don't last long around here and hello pregnant mommas: they're high fiber - always a good thing.

 

Monster Breakfast Cookies

 

3/4 cup butter, softened

1 cup brown sugar

1 egg

1/4 cup frozen orange juice concentrate (or 1/4 cup of orange juice works too)

1 cup all purpose flour

1/4 cup wheat germ

1 tsp. baking powder

3/4 tsp. cinnamon

1 and 1/2 cup oats

1/2 cup dried fruit, raisins, cranberries, apricots

1/2 cup chopped walnuts

 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C)

 

Cream butter, brown sugar and egg, and stir in orange juice concentrate.

In another bowl, combine the dry ingredients. Add to creamed mixture and stir until well mixed. Drop by huge spoonfuls onto greased or non-stick cookie sheets.Leave lots of room for spreading! Flatten before baking, with the bottom of a glass dipped in sugar. Bake 12-15 minutes, let cool a few minutes before removing from sheets.

 

Enjoy!!

 

I LOVE to add things in, usually sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, flax seeds, CHOCOLATE CHIPS are a must, peanuts will do in a pinch if you have no walnuts, you can't screw these babies up.

 

Let me know if you try them and how you like them.
