Hearty Breakfast Cookies image

In the early '80's my Mom found a recipe for breakfast cookies in the local newspaper. Through many experiments, I tweaked the recipe to make it my own. It is a favorite of my mother-in-law's, who likes the great fiber content. A healthy carb that can also be enjoyed with yogurt of your choice.
