These amazing cookies are about as wholesome a snack as you’ll find. Kids absolutely love them. I love having something I can throw together in a jiffy. On rare occasions you can even make these for breakfast so kids think you’re really cool. This is a fun recipe for treating your kids to “cookies for breakfast,” especially at sleepovers where there are sure to be a few picky eaters in the group. If you don’t have grainless granola on hand, you can substitute quick oats.
