I decided to make a breakfast cookie that definitely feels indulgent and has chocolate chips but also loaded with protein and good stuff to make it a great way to kickstart your day.

But, probably my favorite part of these cookies is the kid-friendly aspect. My kids are big snackers and my younger son loved heating a couple of these cookies up to eat and random times throughout the day.
