Crofter’s Breakfast Cookie

We all know how important it is for our health to eat a balanced breakfast, but it can be tough to sneak in a quick bite before our busy days get started. We’ve been making these simple and healthy Breakfast Cookies here at Crofter’s for a delicious boost of energy to kick-start those hectic mornings.

You can keep these cookies in the fridge for a few days or put them in the freezer for those days when you need to eat something quick and convenient.

A couple of tips:

• Let these puppies cool down completely before you try to handle them. They will fall apart if they’re still hot.
• Don’t be afraid to add more fruit spread if they’re not sweet enough for you. The first time we made these we only used about 3 tablespoons of fruit spread and they were lacking in the sweet department.
• Try it with different Crofter’s Organic Premium Spreads. We used Berry Harvest, but it would be great with any of our fruit spreads.

Here are the ingredients and step-by-step instructions for making the breakfast cookies. (printable recipe is available at the end of the post)

½ cup of Crofter’s Organic Premium Spread of your choice
