Any time I add fruit to a cookie it makes me feel less guilty when the following day I’m eating them for breakfast. I know I’m not the only one out there who loves a homemade cookie with their morning coffee. This is not how I start every day, but the ones that do start this way are some of my favorite mornings.
Listening to the birds chirping this spring, while sipping on strong black coffee, eating small bites filled with cranberry and white chocolate is a perfect moment. Being a mom, those moments are usually in the corner of the kitchen with my hand cupped over the cookie as I smile at my toddler in between each chew. Assuring him Mommy is not eating any cookies because if he knew…I would then have to give up that cookie and that’s not something I’m going to do. I’m a role model!! “Mommy never eats cookies for breakfast!” We all lie a little sometimes and the small lies are important. They are the ones that make us human. Maybe one day when my children are older they can laugh about this with me. Maybe they will ask why I always looked in the pantry so long for my ingredients or laugh at how mom is always in the corner of the kitchen looking for that “one” frying pan.
Another chewy cookie that is sure to please whether it be a change from your regular chocolate chip cookie, your new cookie to bring to holidays, or the perfect guilty pleasure to make just because you want them.

Have you made these cookies with quick cook oats? If so, did you do anything different to the recipe? Thanks!
I have not, I think they would work fine. Probably just a softer cookie vs more texture with the old fashion oats.
