Healthy Breakfast Cookies with Cranberries and Walnuts

Spring is the time to get all your ducks in a row. If you live near a pond, you can even go watch actual ducks line up in a row. It’s inspiring, I tell you!

So, what ducks are we lining up? And why do I keep talking about ducks? Well, the answer to the second question is: I have no idea.

But the answer to the first question is much simpler. I’m getting ready to spring clean the house, get out of some ruts, and all around become a better person before school is out.

No pressure.

So to make this all much, much easier to accomplish, I’m doing two things to prepare. First, I’m starting the day with breakfast cookies just for fun.

Second, I’m stocking up ahead of time on all the stuff I need to get things done. Did that rhyme? I am on a roll today! Or maybe I just had too much coffee.

I picked up all my supplies at Walmart. They’re having an April Stock Up & Save event with savings on all your favorite brands. I can tell you that after today’s shopping trip, I will not run out of dish soap for quite some time. Possibly not until next year.

Bounty Select-A-Size 12-Pack Mega Roll and Dawn Original 75 oz are perfect for cleaning up the kitchen, and Gain 100 oz Original Liquid Laundry Detergent gets those little cooking spills out of my clothes.

Charmin Ultra Strong 36 Double-Roll Pack keeps the bathrooms fully stocked, and Febreze Air Effects Linen & Sky helps freshen up the house before company arrives.

Starting April 11, you can save even more with Ibotta rewards. You can keep up with all the news with April Stock Up & Save Event on Facebook, or visit StockUpSave.com for all the deals. Purchase your items in Walmart, or order online!

Now you need some cookies to give you energy. They’re packed with whole wheat, oatmeal, cranberries, and walnuts, so not only can you enjoy your breakfast, but you can feel good about it too.

Tips for Making Breakfast Cookies

These cookies make it easy to swap in different ingredients. You can use raisins instead of cranberries, pecans instead of walnuts, or all purpose flour (if you must) instead of whole wheat.

The breakfast cookies are thick, so they take a little longer to bake than the average cookie.

These cookies keep very well. After they cool completely, store them airtight and they’ll be good for several days.
