50 Reviews of Big Breakfast Cookie

Oh, I am definitely hooked on these! I have made them several times now, and they are soo good! And if you like big breakfast's like me, these babies are friggin' HUGE. I usually mix up the ingredients and use about 1/3 container of one of those little applesauce cups (1/4 cup didn't seem to be quite enough), a little nutmet, and A LOT of cinnamon. I'd also like to point out that if you use instant nonfat dry skim milk that it is much lower in calories and fat - About 290 cal and 2 g of fat. Just for anyone who's watching there weight.

These are awesome! You can plump up the raisins by mixing them into the applesauce, microwaving about 45 seconds, then letting it all sit for about 10-15 minutes before stirring into the dry mixture. Also, I've substituted powdered non-dairy creamer for the powdered milk with very good results. And since I don't care for Splenda, I use regular sugar. Preferring a softer cookie, I don't spread the dough much, just flatten out the top a little before baking. Love to eat this with a sausage patty...Yum! Thanks so much, Budgiegirl.

Tastes far more decadent than it really is. I was glad I smoothed out the dough on the cookie sheet because it didn't spread out at all while baking. It made for a very soft and moist cookie. Think next time I'll try spreading it thinner to make at least the edges a little crisp-see how I like that.

I made this recipe using 1/2 quick oats and l/2 old fashioned. I wasn't sure which to use but either would have been fine. I used unsweetened apple sauce and increased the splenda slightly for the sake of my sugar addicted husband! I also used double the cinnamon and a few sprinkles of allspice. This was very filling and made me feel so saintly eating all of these healthy ingredients. Bonus,the house smelled heavenly! I loved it and will make again. Think I'll try some dried cranberries and a little dried coconut for a change.

These look like a professional bakery cookie! I can see that you could experiment with different dried fruits and flavorings (maybe a touch of vanilla and dried apricots or craisins.) Spraying the cookie sheet with PAM is important. I used a silpat, and the cookie didn't stick, but the bottom wasn't crispy, as it would have been with the spray. Tastes great with a good cup of coffee, and is a perfect on-the-go breakfast! Thanks for the recipe, Budgiegirl!

These were so delicious and made the perfect pre-workout breakfast. Lucky trainer, I even brought one for him and he asked for the recipe. I made one modification by mixing enough batter for three cookies and baking it as four cookies so that they would be a bit smaller (and the points a little lower). Even so, they were about 4 inches and more than 1/2 inch thick. Based on the reviews, I doubled the cinnamon — a great idea. The extras are now individually frozen and ready to go. Thank you!

These are perfect! An excellent breakfast for someone like me that hates taking the time to make a healthy breakfast every morning. Very healthy, but tastes like a huge treat. I'm going to use chopped dates and add some coconut next time. What a great recipe....thanks!

I doubled the cinnamon. Needed to add more applesauce to moisten everything. They're a good carryout heavy snack or meal.

We didn't like these. They were dry and tasted like diet food to me. I was really hoping they'd be good because the recipe and all the great reviews looked so good, but we simply didn't care for them.

I increased the recipe to make 6 huge cookies, using 1/2 cup "dough" for each. I used some soy milk powder instead of non-fat powdered milk and used half stevia and half raw sugar. I also baked mine a few minutes longer because they were so big. These were great! I rewarmed them by toasting them in the toaster on low and they were awesome that way. Great recipe Budgiegirl. Sorry for all the tweaks.
