Lori sent this in last week – a wonderful inspiration to all of us as we begin busy school years:
With school starting next week, I’ve been spending some time in the kitchen. I like breakfast to be as quick and simple as possible. My husband is usually in charge of feeding the kids while I’m getting ready for work. When I asked my kids (Kaylee-11 and Blake-8) what I should have available for breakfasts when school starts, they both said Breakfast Cookies. Silly question, I know. These cookies have been a staple at our house since I discovered the recipe a few years ago. Kaylee has actually been asking for them all summer. She will be thrilled to come home from camp to find the freezer stocked with her beloved cookies.

All the food in the picture. Elias likes looking at food as much as I do. :)
- My cookbook in the picture. “Hey look, it’s your book!”
- Blake’s glasses are almost identical to his. Love of breakfast cookies and matching glasses? I think they’d get along just fine. :)
Can’t wait to hear from more of you. Share your stories!

Thanks for sharing this Laura! Blake loved seeing his picture and the comments from Elias. You’ll have to tell your boys that Blake LOVES Legos too. That Lego party looked like fun.
Kentuckylady717…I had also made some banana/zucchini bread and some chocolate chip zucchini muffins that morning. I was in the baking mood :)

Thanks Lori, but have question for you….did you use rolled oats and did you soak them ?
I never buy the rolled oats……and was wondering if you can use the one minute oats which it what I buy ? And I would assume you don’t need to soak those either eh ?
Your cookies and the bread look so wonderful…..
Thanks Lori

I always use the Basic Muffin Mix from Laura’s cookbook. Yes, I used rolled oats in the breakfast cookies. I don’t soak.
