🤣 We eat cookies for breakfast as a family at least once a week. My youngest daughter is 11, and she's taken over the weekly routing of baking chocolate chip cookies on Saturdays. So, Sunday morning, we all take our slow times getting moving, and at some point when we're all ready we gather around the table for cookies & coffees/milks :) I'm so glad to have found another cookies-for-breakfast aficionado!
You're so right, this is not the time of year for deprivation! I've been making myself healthy waffles that are so good: 4 oz banana mashed up, 1 oz dry oats, 1 egg, baking soda + powder, nutmeg and cinnamon — topped with almond butter, walnuts, and berries. Not as quick as toasting cookies, though!
That sounds really yummy! Much better than the plain oatmeal I usually eat... admittedly maybe not as good as cookies, but definitely a better option for after January!
Yup, stuck in the house for 8 days having to chip away at the ice to make a path for our pup to pee, I'm so glad we did not opt for a "dry January." Also glad we made it to Costco to restock our wine stash and a few things to nibble on to counteract the outside gloom. Nothing like a glass of cab to warm your toes on a freezing winter day :)

That sounds like an absolutely lovely tradition!

This recipe, without the baking powder or soda, also makes great pancakes! Yeah, not cookies, but very tasty and you can add all kinds of toppings! 😀

Amen!
I love this part:
"The cookies taste like butter and sunshine.
“Mom!” my son squeals, breaking my reverie. “Are you eating cookies for breakfast?”
“I am,” I say, because I don’t know how I can plausibly deny it. (I’ll admit, I was hoping no one would catch me.)
“Why?” he asks, indignant.
“Because it’s January,” I say."
