Dreaming of a quick, healthy, and delicious breakfast? Breakfast cookies are the perfect solution! This simple and versatile recipe will bring a smile to your face in the morning and provide you with the energy you need for a busy day. Let’s get started!

Ingredients:
- 200 g whole wheat flour (you can also use white flour for a fluffier texture)
- 100 g butter or coconut oil (for a vegan option)
- 50 g brown sugar (optional, depending on your preferences)
- 1 egg (or a mashed banana for a vegan option)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 100 g oats
- 50 g nuts or seeds (almonds, pecans, sunflower seeds)
- 100 g dried fruits (like raisins or cranberries)

Preparation:
1. Start by preheating the oven to 180°C and prepare a baking tray lined with parchment paper. This step is essential to prevent the cookies from sticking and to ensure even baking.

2. In a large bowl or your Kenwood mixer bowl, add the whole wheat flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix the dry ingredients well to ensure that all flavors are evenly distributed.

3. Add the butter or coconut oil cut into cubes. If using a food processor, use the dough blades to integrate the butter into the flour mixture until you achieve a texture similar to wet sand. If working by hand, you can use a knife or simply your hands to do this step.

4. In another bowl, beat the egg (or mashed banana) and add it to the dry ingredient mixture. Mix everything well until combined.

5. Add the oats, nuts, and dried fruits. These ingredients not only add texture but also a boost of nutrients. Mix everything until the ingredients are evenly distributed.

6. Using a spoon, form dough balls and place them on the prepared tray, leaving some space between them as the cookies will spread during baking.

7. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden and firm to the touch. It’s important not to leave them too long to avoid becoming too crunchy.

8. Once ready, let them cool on a rack for a few minutes, then enjoy them with tea or coffee.

Practical tips:
- You can experiment with different types of flour, such as almond flour or coconut flour, to create cookies with different flavors.
- If you like sweeter cookies, you can add a little honey or maple syrup to the dough.
- These cookies are also great as a snack, so you can store them in an airtight container and take them with you to the office or on trips.

Personal note: I recommend serving them with a thin layer of peanut butter or natural jam for an even more refined culinary experience. Breakfast cookies will surely become a favorite in your daily routine!

Now you have all the information you need to make the best breakfast cookies. Enjoy them and savor the indulgent moments throughout the day!

Everything is mixed together; I use a Kenwood mixer, but since it's a soft dough, you can use any other robot with dough blades if you want. After that, take it and put it on a board, shaping it while always using flour, possibly adding more if necessary. I divided this amount into pieces. Start making a sheet that you then cut with the shape you want; we made them round with a hole in the middle, which here is called 'macine', or square, or filled with orange marmalade. For the filled ones, I pressed a little with the shape to get the outline and put a bit of marmalade in the middle. Then I placed the sheet on top, using the same sheet, folding it. I pressed a little around the mound with the filling so that it wouldn’t come apart, and then I cut with the shape. This is how the filled ones looked on the tray. And this is how they looked baked; here, over time, I orient myself by the color they have; I think about 20 minutes at 180°C. This is how the others looked baked. Enjoy your meal!
