Tasty Breakfast Cookies

My family loves these little cookies for breakfast. All three of my children gobble them right up. They contain bacon, egg, cheese and corn flakes, yet are still sweet. They have a unique flavor, but we love them, and they are fairly quick to make! This recipe was sent to us by our college president's wife in a Christmas card several years ago and we've been enjoying it ever since.

• Ready In: 23 mins
• Serves: 4-6
• Yields: 3 dozen

Ingredients

• 1  cup flour
• 3⁄4 cup sugar
• 1⁄4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1⁄2 cup bacon bits or 10  slices  fried and crumbled bacon
• 1⁄2 cup butter, softened
• 1  egg, beaten
• 2  cups  corn flakes
• 1⁄4 cup  shredded mild cheddar cheese

Directions

1. Measure into bowl: flour, sugar and soda, and mix well.
2. Add bacon, butter (or margarine) and egg.
3. Mix until all ingredients are well-blended.
4. Stir in corn flakes and cheese. (You may have to use hands to mix dough. It is very stiff.).
5. Drop by teaspoon, 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. (I always use parchment paper!)
6. Bake 13 - 15 minutes at 350 degrees. Cool slightly before removing.
7. Note: If you choose to use bacon bits, be sure you use the real bacon bits, not Bacos!
