A great use for extra cereal. Unfortunately we do not eat cereal, so I went out and purchased a box. Everyone loved the taste, I just can't make them very often due to the cost.

Oddly crunchy & bland. I expected more based on the reviews.

These turned out really good! Everyone who tried them really enjoyed them :) I made them exactly as the recipe states but I made 60 regular sized cookies instead of 24 giant ones

These were great! I did make a couple of changes and followed another reviewer's suggestion of halving the recipe. They still turned out pretty big and made a little over 2 dozen! I did not use peanut butter, but added about a tablespoon of maple syrup. I used 1/3 cup oats and 1/3 cup crushed up honey nut cheerios. I also sprinkled the tops with a cinnamon/sugar mixture before baking. They turned out very tasty. Next time I am going to add rice crispies and choc chips.

Way too sweet! These drew me in for interesting use of ingredients; you had better really like peanut butter because the flavor is dominate. I used the medium Pampered Chef scoop (about two tablespoons) and put six per pan - any more would have been too much. There's no way I would want to serve the larger cookie - I'm not sure how the middle would get done. That being said, they'll do, but I will never make them again. They make WAY too many (and with the cereal, you can't freeze the batter...) and have too much sugar (I would call them a dessert cookie, not a breakfast cookie).

I thought these were really good. I didn't expect an delicious dainty cookie, but something a bit heartier, and that's what it is. I made some improvements (IMHO) I really don't think these are a healthy breakfast, but maybe a good afternoon snack. Plus my kids refuse to eat most cereal right now so I used some up. I halved the recipe and then halved the butter. I used 1/2 white, 1/2 brn sugar and a bit of maple syrup. Used milk instead of water. I used a cranberry, raisin mixture for about 1/4 cup, just under 1/4 cup of sunflower seeds, and 1/4 cup of mini chocolate chips. I also used 2/3rd rice crispies and 1/3 cheerios. I understand what some say about the cheerios. They get a little hard, while the rice crispies really seem to add something, along with the chocolate chips. I love the PB taste too. We used natural PB so a lot of taste came through. Made them 1/2 size, cooked 10 min and left them a bit undercooked. Kids loved them!

These are great! Highly recommend them for an on-the-go breakfast. Here's what I do and they come out perfect every time: I use my mixer on the batter for about 20 seconds before adding the flour, oats and cereal. I've used lots of different cereals, like Captain Crunch, Frosted Flakes, and Cocoa Pebbles. If you use Cheerios, you need to crush them and then the cookies don't turn out dry. I've found that using 3 cups of Rice Krispies and 3 cups of any other cereal works really well and the cookies are just right. (The higher fiber cereals need to be crushed though.) And I add 1/2 bag of milk chocolate chips and leave out the raisins. Thanks for this recipe! It's a family favorite!

This are absolutely DELICIOUS!!! I've made several batches, each with little differences every time. My son really likes the Rice Krispies & Chocolate Chip version, and my husband prefers the GrapeNut without raisons that someone mentionned on here. Although, I do agree, "Breakfast" is a bad word for it...but they make excellent snacks.
