I have been trying to get my husband to eat breakfast before work for years. I've tried to emphasize the importance of starting off your day with a quick nutritious meal, but it has always fallen on deaf ears. There are plenty of quick breakfast options on the market (e.x. granola bars), but they are all packed with sugar and carbs and don't offer much in the way of actual nutrition (fiber, protein, etc). This gave me the idea to investigate breakfast cookies. I mean, who wouldn't want to start their day off with a few chocolate chips?

I mentioned in an earlier post how cookies are my go-to dessert due to how quickly you can go from craving to warm, sugary satisfaction. What this means is that 1) I always have cookie fixings on hand and 2) I'm always up to trying out a new recipe. I've recently been interested in trying out gluten free recipes, not because of an intolerance, but because they often have interesting substitutions that are more nutritious than all purpose flour.
