How to Make Bakery Style Breakfast Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine 2 cups rolled oats, 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup whole wheat flour, 1 cup Grape-Nuts cereal, 1/2 cup wheat germ, 1/4 cup oat bran, and 1 teaspoon baking soda. Mix well to combine.
  3. In a separate large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
  4. Add 2 large eggs, 1 cup packed light brown sugar, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Beat until smooth and well combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in 1 cup sliced almonds, 1/2 cup raisins, and 1 cup chopped dates.
  7. Optional: Prepare 1 week ahead. Cover and chill the dough. Allow to soften at room temperature before proceeding to step 10.
  8. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
  9. Using a 2-ounce cookie scoop or a 1/4-cup measuring cup, scoop dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  10. Using damp fingers, gently press each cookie to a 1/2-inch thickness.
  11. Press one date half into the center of each cookie.
  12. Bake one sheet at a time for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown on top. Rotate baking sheets halfway through for even baking.
  13. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  14. Serve at room temperature or slightly warmed. Enjoy!
