Cookies for Breakfast

Breakfast Cookies

Non stick cooking spray
½ cup butter, softened
2/3 cup brown sugar packed
1 tsp baking soda
2 eggs
1 ¾ cups white whole wheat flour
3 cups multi-grain cereal flakes with blueberries or raisins, etc.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat the cookie sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Put the butter in the mixing bowl. Beat with an electric mixer for 30 seconds. Add brown sugar and baking soda. Beat until mixed. Add the eggs; beat until mixed. Add flour and beat until the mixture no longer looks dry. Use the wooden spoon to stir in the cereal.
For each cookie, pack the mixture into a ¼ cup measuring cup. Use the rubber scraper to scrape it out of the cup on to the prepared cookie sheet. Press mound of dough with your fingers to flatten it slightly. Repeat with remaining dough, placing cookies about 3 inches apart.
Put the cookie sheet in the oven. Bake cookies for 8 to 10 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Turn off oven. Use hot pads to take the cookie sheet out of the oven. Let baked cookies stand on the cookie sheet for 1 minute. Use the wide spatula to transfer the cookies to the wire rack. Let cookies cool. Makes 12 cookies.
