These are really only called “breakfast” cookies because they have some cereal and some muesli ingredients in them, but they are reasonably healthy. You could replace the butter with light olive oil or vegetable oil if you don’t want all that cholesterol in there… and you could probably replace some of the sugar with honey. But it makes a lot of cookies so each one only has a little bit of everything naughty. 😉

Makes approx. 4 dozen.

Ingredients

225g butter, room temperature
1 cup white sugar
