Happy twenty-four hours later Easter together with Apr Fool's Day together with Spring Break twenty-four hours {at to the lowest degree for me}, all inwards the same twenty-four hours everyone!  Mark together with I simply got dorsum from spending Easter weekend 'home' alongside our families.  We had a really dainty together with relaxing weekend ... Mark got to pass fourth dimension doing ii of the things he loves best - working alongside our bees together with working alongside his tractor.  I got to create ii of the things I love best - move Mark's assistant apiculturist together with hang out cooking alongside my Mom.  Good times.

And i of the kitchen treats I was spoiled alongside this weekend past times my Mom were these scrumptious Maple-Peanut Breakfast Cookies.  Cookies for breakfast?? ...

... Well, sure! ... when they're chock total of good-for-you-stuff, why not?

And these cookies are indeed chock total of good-for-you-stuff.  And neat maple flavor.  Oh, how I love maple.  A lot of times when yous mix peanut butter together with maple syrup inwards baked goods, the peanut butter season totally takes over, drowning out the maple.  Not inwards these cookies.  Somehow inwards these cookies, both flavors smoothen through inwards a tasty complimenting kinda way.

And since they're non overly sweet, they'd brand a wonderful any-time snack, too.  I don't intend they ask to move relegated to simply breakfast at all.

Now, I simply had to portion that I had a helper during the photograph shoot for these cookies.  Mmm, hmmm ... hither he is! ...

That's my parents' dog, Max.  He's a sugariness piddling Yorkie ... together with totally wanted to move involved inwards my photograph shoot, barking at the photographic television camera each fourth dimension I'd snap a motion painting together with running betwixt my feet.  So I decided he needed to move inwards his ain picture.  He's lookin' kinda scruffy inwards this shot ... obviously he hadn't been to come across his  stylist earlier his blog-debut photograph shoot ... but I intend he's cute none-the-less!

Despite beingness hence cute, he didn't larn whatever cookies for his breakfast.

But yous can.  So, certain ... larn ahead!  Whip these upwards together with direct hold cookies for breakfast.
