These cookies are one of my favorite breakfast meal prep. I make them much larger than an average cookie so they are filling, and satisfying. The icing is optional if you'd like to keep them healthy! I have another breakfast cookie recipe similar to this one if you want to use cinnamon and almond butter. That will be linked below in "related recipes"
