Oatmeal Breakfast Cookies
This is a great on-the-go breakfast, especially if you have a large family. I think it is important to eat protein at breakfast, so I especially love that this recipe has plenty of protein in it by way of nuts.

- Using a round cookie cutter, about 3 inches in diameter, press batter into it to shape.
