How to Make True Breakfast Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup and cooling.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, 1 cup creamy peanut butter, ¾ cup packed light brown sugar, and ½ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in 2 cups rolled oats, 1 cup golden raisins, 1 cup chopped apple, ½ cup shredded carrots, 1 cup chopped walnuts, ½ cup crumbled cooked bacon, and 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese.
  7. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Avoid overbaking!
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
