And 1 of the kitchen treats I was spoiled alongside this weekend yesteryear my Mom were these scrumptious Maple-Peanut Breakfast Cookies.  Cookies for breakfast?? ...

... Well, sure! ... when they're chock total of good-for-you-stuff, why not?

Despite existence therefore cute, he didn't larn whatever cookies for his breakfast.

But you lot can.  So, certain ... larn ahead!  Whip these upwards as well as lead hold cookies for breakfast.
