Blueberry Breakfast Cookies
Have you ever noticed that the thing with really fun stuff is that it usually makes you feel bad later on?
Like cookies for breakfast. In theory, totally awesome.
It’s cookies, it’s breakfast….what better way to start off your day than with something yummy and portable?
Except for the part afterwards where you’re all, “dude…I just ate cookies for breakfast and now I feel super fat,”…and then you go to change into your comfy fat day jeans only to realize that you don’t own fat jeans anymore.
Because your fat jeans have turned into your normal day jeans.
Which makes your old normal jeans your skinny day jeans.
And everyone knows that skinny day jeans just hang in your closet and haunt you for all your days.
Luckily for me, my fat jeans are comfy and I make really good cookies.
So no regrets.
Plus…these cookies have blueberry muffin mix, eggs, and oatmeal in them.
Sounds like a perfectly acceptable morning meal, if you ask me.
Which you SHOULD be asking me. I mean, I’m no expert, but I can pretty much make anything fun seem perfectly acceptable.
It’s the best way to live.

INGREDIENTS
7oz box Jiffy Blueberry Muffin Mix (this is NOT to be confused with those big boxes of mix that come with a can of blueberries…these little boxes are usually under a dollar and are pretty much a staple in my house)
1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/3 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
dash of salt
1 cup quick oats
2/3 cup sweetened shredded coconut
1/2 cup margarine
Preheat oven to 350. Lightly grease or spray a baking sheet with nonstick spray. I used my muffin top pan (a tip I picked up from Picky Palate) for extra large cookies. Just spray the pan with nonstick spray and press about a quarter cup of cookie dough into each muffin top cup.
Cream margarine and both sugars until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla and beat on medium speed until well blended.
In a separate bowl, combine muffin mix, flour, baking powder, coconut, salt, and quick oats. Slowly add to butter/sugar mixture and mix well.
Drop by spoonfuls onto greased cookie sheets, or press into muffin top pan.
Bake small cookies 8-10 minutes and large cookies 15 minutes or until edges are golden brown.
Makes about 30-35 normal cookies or 12 large cookies from a muffin top pan.
I love oatmeal cookies, I love blueberry muffins, and I love coconut, so these are a total win for me. Hope you love them too!!
Have a happy Wednesday!!!
Thanks for visiting my blog! I realize you could be doing more important things with your time. Like watching the news or washing socks. I hope you stay awhile. Much more fun than socks, I promise. 
Whoa. Just like whoa. I love those little jiffy boxes, but I only have the corn bread ones right now. If it weren't snowing and 11:22 p.m., I'd totally be going to the store right now, because I want these for breakfast tomorrow! And you know what's really great? When you work from home and can do so in your PJs. Then there's no debate about skinny jeans or fat jeans. There's just PJ pants. :D
Oh yum…. I've never heard of a breakfast cookies, but I know I'd definitely like these!!
:)
ButterYum
These look fantastic. I love all those flavors too. I get what you mean about your jeans. I now call my fat jeans, my winter jeans. Seems like it coincides. hmm
These look so good!
FINALLY SomeBODY thinks like I do but better!!
I have ALWAYS said cookies should be a breakfast food, when I was little, when I was a teen, when I was an expectant mother… I did however have a laps as the kids were young and fell into cult thinking, NO THEY ARE NOT, but as I age I have overcome that.
YEAH!!! Cookies for BREAKFAST!!
That's what I'm talking about!
Do you have ANY idea how many Grandma points I'm going to rack up also?!!!
I love cookies for breakfast and these are new to me. YEAH! Love how you presented them.
Yum! Blueberries are just so delicious, and now I can have baked goods for breakfast as an excuse with these in them :)
You have me convinced! Cookies for breakfast sounds totally acceptable. Plus the have blueberries and oats in them, if that isn't breakfasty what is. They look great and sound delicious.
I have to laugh about the whole skinny/fat jeans thing. What a horrible feeling it is when your fat jeans become your regular jeans :-(, one that I am all too familiar with after the holidays! But you are right cookies for breakfast sounds like such a good idea sometimes.
I'm going to make these this weekend for my parents. They seem just the perfect thing for my Dad to eat with his coffee on the way to Church on Sunday, thanks Kristen! :)
Wow, these sound super yummy! I love cookies for breakfast. Too bad my hubby just put cinnamon rolls in the oven.
The only thing I might do differently is add white chocolate chips…because all cookies should have some sort of chocolate and I really like blueberry, coconut and white chocolate together.
Thanks for the great idea. Definitely going to make these tomorrow.
Seriously… I HAVE to try these!!! I am addicted to anything blueberry and breakfast related.
Let me rephrase, "I am addicted to eating"
Totally drool worthy girl!
Ah, breakfast of champions! Breakfast cookie bars, what's not to love.
When I saw blueberry, I immediately thought yum! something my boys will like! PLUS! The Jiffy boxes are the greatest ever!
I think I'll try these this weekend!! YUM! Thanks for sharing. :D
Ha! I think I have 4 different sizes of jeans on my closet! These muffins look fabulous and luckily for me, I'm rocking sweats today!
Skinny jeans are hazardous for your health. I believe one gentleman died from this because it cut off his circulation. I had a student the other day sobbing because they hurt so much but he knew they were stylish. The poor kid. They don't have those in Britain. Let's move, get accepted into wizarding school, and read all the trashy magazines about William and Kate's wedding. Their tabloids are far worse than ours.
Its everything that's good and right in this world all in one!!!!!
skinny jeans are the enemy of enemies.
cookies however, are always there for you :)

these look soooo yummy…definitely need to try them! but i didn't see how long they cooked for?
I went back and added, thanks for letting me know!! (I guess that's what happens when you write a post while drinking your second glass of wine)
Just in case you or your readers don't know, many Jiffy mixes contain lard, like the corn muffin and blueberry muffin mixes. Too bad because other than that, the recipe looks so good : (
I'm definitely into having cookies for breakfast, especially these! Thanks for passing on the great tip about using the muffin top pan~great idea!
totally picking up a Jiffy blueberry mix this weekend. I have the rest of the ingredients here at home.
Hey Tammy,commenter #22-I am a proud loving Lard Lover. Shoot, so many things I eat have lard in it, and you know what-it just tastes better all lard ladden. :)
Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe, Kristan!
Fabulous! And they have oats, so…totally acceptable for breakfast.
These look perfectly acceptable for breakfast, and I shall be looking for said blueberry muffin mix the next time I am at the store!
Fun idea… I love the concept of the breakfast cookie!
Yumm!!! I absolutely love the jiffy blueberry mix! My mom made it for us when we were kids and I make it for my little ones…i make both muffins and pancakes! BUT QUESTION!!! im making these right now! they are in the oven, but I dont see how long we should cook them for…is it until golden brown??? or is there a particular time?>?> thank yoU!!!

I know what you mean! I made muffins for dinner the other day. Up is down! Black is white! ;)
Wow, Kristan! These breakfast cookes are freaking awesome! Just ignore the fact that the back of my thighs and buns are scowling at you. My tongue and tummy are so thankful.
I can't wait to bust these out on my 9-year-old son when he gets home from school. He can nibble these while he watches Saturday morning cartoons…if there are any left by then.
Kudos from Atlanta!
How long do you bake them for? I have the batter preapred. You just didn't say how long to bake them for! Looking forward to these! Taking them to a surf competition in the morning – they'll be an appreciated breakfast!
These are definitely acceptable for breakfast! Oh and my fat day jeans are definitely tight these days…
On my way into the kitchen to make these right now! I can't wait to try them out!
I'm so excited I found your blog! I saw your blog on Kuzak's Closet. I am a new follower. I've been trying to get my domestic woman on since I recently moved in with my boyfriend. I think your blog is going to be a big help!
Ummm hello… cookies for breakfast? Yes please!
