Peanut Butter Breakfast Cookies

These cookies from Crazy for Crust are perfect for an afternoon snack or even breakfast. Sweet enough to be called a cookie, yet healthy enough for any time of the day. Next time I'm making a double batch to freeze for crazy days in the future.

Peanut Butter Breakfast Cookies

1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

1/4 cup brown sugar

2 Tbsp. coconut oil

1 large egg

1 tsp. vanilla

1/2 tsp. baking soda

2 Tbsp. flax seed, ground

3/4 cup quick oats

1/2 cup whole wheat flour

1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a cookie sheet with a silipat. Using a mixer, combine peanut butter, brown sugar and oil until smooth. Stir in egg and vanilla. Mix in baking soda, flax seed, oats and flour. Stir in chocolate chips.

Scoop 2 Tbsp. of dough for each cookie, roll in a ball and flatten with the palm of your hand. They won't spread, so you can have them fairly close together. Bake 9 to 11 minutes. Cool completely on the cookie sheet, or they will crumble apart. Makes 12 cookies.
