How to Make Apple Peanut Butter Breakfast Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cooling.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) shortening, 1 cup creamy peanut butter, ¾ cup packed brown sugar, and ½ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
  6. Stir in 1 ½ cups rolled oats, ½ cup raisins, 1 cup chopped apple, ½ cup shredded carrot, and ½ cup shredded coconut.
  7. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Do not overbake.
  9. Let cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
