Oatmeal Bran Breakfast Cookies Recipe

Name: Oatmeal Bran Breakfast Cookies
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 3/4 cup vegetable shortening; 1 cup brown sugar; 1/3 cup granulated sugar; 1/4 cup strong coffee; 1 egg; 2 1/2 cups rolled oats; 1 cup all-purpose flour; 1 teaspoon salt; 1/2 teaspoon baking soda; 1 1/2 cups all-bran cereal

1
Preheat the oven to 350. Don't grease the baking sheets.
2
Put the shortening, sugars, coffee, and egg in a mixing bowl and beat until smooth and blended. Add the oats, flour, salt, and baking soda. Stir very well so the dough is well mixed.
3
Spread the All Bran cereal out on a piece of waxed paper. This is a sticky dough, so wet your fingers with cold water before pinching off about 2 tablespoons of dough at a time and rolling it in the All Bran. Don't worry if you can't get a heavy coating of cereal on each piece of dough; if just a little of the All Bran sticks, it will give a nice texture to the cookies.
4
Place the dough pieces about 1 1/2-inches apart on the baking sheets. Bake 12-15 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool on racks.

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
