I've had the Red Barn Bakery's Breakfast cookie and it is amazing! I know AnnRock mentioned the calorie count being high in her comment. I can tell you from experience, you can't eat this cookie in one sitting. It is huge and very filling. Plus, a lot of the calories come from dried fruits, seeds, and nuts (these cookies are loaded with them) which are all healthy fats
Obviously I haven't had a chance to make this recipe since it was just on this am....however on checking the calorie count it's 1500 !!!!! Thats a whole days worth of food for most women. I think this sounds awesome so I'm going to work at reducing the calories. Perhaps substituting apple sauce for the butter will be a good start ....
