Breakfast Cookies

In like a lion...I was hoping that the big March storm arrived one week early this year when 14 inches of heavy, wet snow fell last week and left us powerless for three days. But, alas, another storm is on the way. We have had some difficult times lately, and the weather has offered no comfort. Now, faced with another foot of incoming snow, we are trying to prepare and trying to stay positive. Today this includes baking breakfast cookies, the second batch this weekend. This is my variation of the Breakfast Fig and Nut "Cookies" on myrecipes.com. These are hearty cookies, a family favorite.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine dry ingredients, then wet, then mix both together and add cranberries, raisins, and almonds last.

1 cup unbleached white whole wheat flour

1/2 cup whole wheat flour

1/2 cup unprocessed wheat bran

1/2 cup white sugar

3 T milled flax seed

1/2 t baking soda

1/2 t cinnamon

2 T molasses

1/4 cup butter, melted

3 eggs

1 t vanilla extract

1/3 cup sliced almonds

1/3 cup raisins

1/3 cup cranberries

Form into small balls. Bake for 10 minutes. Makes about 40 cookies.
