You know Garfield would never miss his breakfast…why should you? Take along one or two of these satisfying cookies.
1/2 c. butter, softened
1/2 c. sugar
1 egg
2 T. frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed
1 T. orange zest
1-1/4 c. all-purpose flour
1 t. baking powder
1/2 c. wheat & barley cereal nuggets
In a large bowl, blend together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg, orange juice and orange zest; set aside. In a small bowl, combine flour and baking powder; stir into butter mixture until mixed well. Stir in cereal. Drop by teaspoonfuls, 2 inches apart, on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes, until edges are golden. Cool cookies on a wire rack. Makes 1-1/2 dozen.
Grab half a whole-grain bagel for a healthy breakfast. Toast it for extra flavor, then top with reduced-fat cream cheese and sliced strawberries.
