Jumbo Oat Breakfast Cookie

2 1/4 cups whole-wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups white sugar
1 cup Smuckers All Natural crunchy peanut butter
1 cup Land 'O Lakes unsalted butter
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups Quaker Old Fashioned rolled oats
3/4 cup Sunsweet All Natural Dried Cranberries
3/4 cup raisins
6 cups General Mills Honey Nut Cheerios

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.

Combine the whole-wheat flour, baking soda and salt.

In a very large bowl, mix together the sugar, all natural crunchy peanut butter, butter, water, vanilla and eggs until smooth. A stand mixer makes this easier.

Stir the flour mixture into the batter.

Mix in the old fashioned rolled oats, all natural dried cranberries and the raisins and then carefully stir in the honey nut cheerios. You don't want to destroy the cheerios any more than necessary. (At least I don't.)

Drop 1/2 cupfuls of the dough onto silpat lined half sheet pans, spacing the cookies about 4 inches apart. Flatten the cookies down to 1 inch thick.

Bake the cookies for 10 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven until they are lightly browned around the edges.

Let the breakfast cookies stand on the cookie sheets for about 5 minutes. After that remove them to wire racks to cool completely.

These cookies store well at room temperature.

The great taste of these cookies make them extremely kiddie friendly! So not only do you have a quick, easy and healthy breakfast but also healthy snacks for the kiddies.
