How to Make Thick & Chewy Breakfast Cookies
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  2. Combine all of the ingredients in a large bowl using a stand mixer or a hand mixer. Blend until well mixed.
  3. Portion the cookie dough using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, scooping out mounds onto the prepared cookie sheets.
  4. Bake for 16–19 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned. Let cool on the baking sheets for about 10 minutes.
