Looking for a tasty, moist, chewy cookie? One made from pretty simple ingredients you already have (with the exception of the Kashi)? This is the one! Next time I will make the cookies twice the size and use them for breakfast cookies on-the-go. They go great with a cup of coffee, or an anytime snack you can feel pretty good about considering they have whole grain cereal & oats.

I altered the original Grape Nuts cookies recipe to make it more Weight Watchers friendly and lower the PointsPlus a little.
We used to call these types of fiber-filled cookies Morning Bombs! because of the breakfast on-the-go potential among other things. You're making me feel like baking here! Thanks!
I love food. I love sampling food, cooking food, reading about food, drooling over pictures of food.
I'm amazed by bento bloggers and that's how this all started. I don't make bentos very often and they're not as beautiful as some but they are fun.
More about me - I live in Alaska, married with 2 dogs & a cat, work from home for our marketing/advertising company, and have many things I'm interested in. Did I mention...I love cooking, reading cooking & bento blogs, watching cooking shows, baking, I like photography, quilting and sewing.
