  • In a large bowl whisk oil, egg, vanilla, yogurt, milk, molasses, and coconut sugar until smooth.

Notes

Makes 28 breakfast cookies

A medium cookie scoop holds 1.5 tbsp and will result in 28 perfectly round breakfast cookies. I use this one.

Flat vs Fluffy Cookie

I don't flatten after scooping, which results in a thick, soft cookie. The batter will not spread much while baking, so they can be spaced fairly close together.
Give them a smush with a fork if you prefer a flatter breakfast cookie.
