5 Breakfast Inspired Cookie Recipes You Need to Try
Breakfast might be the most important meal of the day, but let’s be honest. The flavors are even better when they show up in a cookie. These are not breakfast cookies. These are full dessert cookies inspired by the best breakfast treats from your childhood and your coffee shop cravings.
If you want fun. If you want nostalgia. If you want a reason to preheat the oven this weekend. Start here.
1. Cinnamon Sugar Pop Tart Cookies
Imagine the best part of a warm toaster pastry. Buttery pastry flavor, cinnamon sugar filling and icing. Now imagine all of that inside a soft chewy cookie.
Why you’ll love it: It tastes like childhood but with an upgraded bakery feel.
2. Chocolate Lucky Charms Cookies
This one is pure Saturday morning cartoon energy. A rich chocolate cookie packed with chocolate pieces and colorful marshmallows that stay soft and magical.
Why you’ll love it: It delivers the perfect mix of fudgy chocolate and sweet crunchy marshmallow pockets.
3. Frosted Lucky Charms Cookies
Sweet vanilla cookie base. Marshmallows folded in. A thick swirl of frosting on top. These cookies are soft, pastel and impossible to stop eating.
Why you’ll love it: They feel nostalgic, playful and pretty enough to serve for any celebration.
4. Coffee Cake Cookies
Everything you love about a warm slice of coffee cake but in cookie form. A soft cookie with a cinnamon swirl and generous crumb topping.
Why you’ll love it: The buttery cinnamon flavor is comforting and perfect with your actual morning coffee.
5. Cinnamon Roll Cookies
Swirled dough, brown sugar cinnamon filling, and a creamy icing drizzle. All the flavor of a warm cinnamon roll but baked way faster.
