So far we have “Snack”urday, and our weekly meal deal. I was trying to come up with another good, “I can’t wait for it” day. How about Tide you Over Tuesday. Just a little recipe to Tide you Over till the big meal deal.
I went out into the garage and cleaned and organized (as best as I could) my big grocery shelf. 
Saturday I cleaned out my pantry. So, at least now I know what dry goods I have. I don’t even want to dive into the freezer yet. My hubby found a lone Klondike bar yesterday and asked if there was more. I said, “I don’t know? Do you want to clean out the freezer?”
He said absolutely nothing. I am guessing that means no. So, that will be an adventure for another day.
I am planning on getting the kids out of the house bright and early tomorrow, because it is too hot to do anything outside during the heat of the day! I was trying to figure out what they could have for breakfast besides the thousands of poptarts that I have accumulated this week. In my cleaning I realized I have way too much cereal in my stockpile. So, I searched for a recipe for something I could make with Cheerios.
These sounded the best!
Cheerios Breakfast Cookies
- 1 ¼ cups sugar
- ½ Cup Butter or Margarine Softened
- ½ Cup peanut butter
- ¼ Cup Water
- 1 TBSP Vanilla
- 1 egg
- 1 ½ Flour
- 1 Cup Oats (old fashioned or quick cooking)
- 1 cup raisins
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 3 cups Cheerios Cereal
Directions
- Heat oven to 375 °
- In large bowl, Stir together sugar, butter, Peanut Butter, Water, Vanilla, and egg.
- Stir in remaining ingredients except Cereal.
- Gently Stir in cereal.
- On ungreased large Cookie sheet drop dough by rounded ¼ cupfuls 2 inches apart. You know I use parchment Paper!
- Flatten dough to about 1 inch thick.
- Bake 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Let stand 5 minutes before removing from cookie sheet. Store loosely covered.
*Tips* For a softer cookie let dough stand or refrigerate over night.
These can be made bigger! Original recipe called for ½ cupfuls of dough. These cookies were huge! Way to big for the smaller kids. If you have teenagers it is worth a try!
These are really good and really filling! ** Like a lot of my recipe these can be made Dairy free! Just substitute Dairy free Margarine or Crisco for the butter,**
I am thinking that with the peanut butter, raisins, oats and cheerios, it may not be a bad breakfast for a diet. It would certainly fill you up until lunch!
Check in Thursday for this weeks Meal Deal!

I'm gonna have to make these for hubby as part of his "lower my cholesterol in 6 weeks or else I go on medication" diet plan … cheerios are suppose to help! And 16 year old sonny boy can eat these on the way to school in the morning! Thanks!!
I’m going to have to give these a try. They would be a great on the go breakfast for back to school.
These sound good! And Cheerios are so tempting with sales and coupons; I’d love to use them in a way the kiddos would eat them up!
I just made these with Nutella (can’t use peanut butter around here) and multi-grain Cherrios. They came out soo yummy!
I just saw this recipe and was wondering if you could use Honey Nut Cheerios? Can’t wait to try these yummy cookies.
Yes you can!
yay.. I”ve got a few boxes of cheerios I’ve been getting ready to donate since my kids aren’t really interested.. I’ll try this with my open box first.. thanks so much for posting!
