Breakfast Cookies - Gluten and Dairy Free

Really the only kind of cold cereal we buy regularly is plain Cheerios and Corn or Rice Chex.  We get the sugary kinds of those for special occasions. 

So basically . . . making breakfast every day is essentially a full time job.  I'm constantly looking for variations, something to make it interesting or different.  

These breakfast cookies make almost everyone happy . . . everyone except my poor boy that's allergic to oats and peanuts.  On these days I have to make two breakfasts, so that he can have something else to eat.  But sometimes I have to hit the majority of people and do my best. 

So  . . . if you can have oats and some kind of nut butter . . . quick, whip these up! Give yourself a break from your normal cereal!
