Bfast Cookies

Fall Jun 4, 2025

In the morning when you don't have a lot of time to eat...bfast and grab a couple of these cookies on your way out. Bfast = Breakfast.

2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup PB, creamy or chunky
1 cup (2 sticks) of softened butter
a couple small splashes of vanilla extract
2 eggs
2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
a few sprinkles of salt
1 1/2 cups rolled oats
1 1/2 cups raisins
1-2 cups of cereal, Cheerios or Honey Nut Cheerios is what I usually use.
optional but highly recommended...bacon. 3-4 strips cooked and chopped up.
another idea but you can skip if you want...a heaping 1/2 cup of PB chips. It just gives it another zap of PB.

Pre-heat the oven to 375 degrees.
Cook the bacon first until it is mostly on the crispy side, it will cook a little more in the oven too. Chop it up and put it off to the side for now.
Grab a mixing bowl and combine the sugar, PB, butter, vanilla extract and eggs. Mix until everything is smooth.
In another bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda and salt.
Pour this into the wet mixture and slowly stir everything until a dough forms.
Next add the PB chips, oats, raisins and bacon. Mix again to combine.
Lastly, add the cereal and give it one more stir. At this point this dough will be very thick. You will definitely get a little arm workout in trying to mix but it is worth it I promise.
Have a cookie sheet ready with parchment paper or silpat on top.
Using a spoon, portion out small balls of dough. They should be about the size of a golf ball. Place the balls onto the sheet with some space in between. Flatten slightly but not too much.
Put into the oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes. The edges should be lightly brown when they are done.
Pull them out and let them stay on the hot sheet for a minute. Then remove the cookies from the sheet to a cooling rack and let them cool completely. Repeat until the dough is gone.
These are great at room temperature or warm from the oven! Also great with your morning cup of coffee.
