It's hard to believe we're up to day 12 already. This cookie might be my favorite solely because it's acceptable to eat it for breakfast. I rationalize the fact that chocolate chip cookies are okay for breakfast because they're like chocolate chip pancakes, am I right? No. Ok. Well these are totally okay for breakfast. In fact, they're even called "breakfast cookies." When I told my mom I was making cookies for breakfast, she said "Interesting." I wasn't expecting complete fanfare, but at least an "Angela, you're a genius! You're my favorite child! Why did it take you so long to come up with this?" Once she found out what a hit they were, she was texting me asking me to bring her some all the way from Jersey to Miami, Florida. I had some on the plane for her, but I ate them all. Whoops! And the best part about this recipe is you can add whatever you want (or don't want) into it. I've had people add in a cup each of raisins and chocolate chips, but it's totally up to you.
