breakfast cookies

woah, it's been a while since I posted anything!  and look, it's not a condiment or side thing!

these things are yummy.  like ridiculously delicious.  they also have the most ingredients in all of my baked goods recipes.

1 egg
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 banana
1/4 cup yogurt (i like to use vanilla dannon natural)
1 1/2 tbsp honey
1/4 cup butter
1 cup AP flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup rolled oats
2 tbsp flax seeds (any kind, golden will hide well for those picky eaters, ground even more so)
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

mix from top of list to the bottom, i like mixing all the wet together to blend well before adding dry, and as always, when adding things that aren't incorporated into making the dough (chocolate chips), add very last after you have formed the dough.  you can scoop or roll out the dough and cut squares or circles.  it stays in the shape you make it.  the picture is a scoop that has been pressed down.  you can put them really close to each other on the greased pan as they do not spread.  i bake them at 350, and each batch takes its own time, so it's best to go off their coloring.  they get golden brown when done, if they start to turn a caramel or chocolate color, they will be dry.  instead of putting mini chocolate chips in it, you can always melt down chocolate chips and then drizzle the top, big chocolate chips are just too chunky for this cookie.  i can only imagine walnuts or pecans would make this even more heavenly.

for real, 2 of the cookies and you are set for hours.
