Author Notes: These breakfast cookies are just as good with a cup of coffee as they are crumbled over a bowl of yogurt. The minimal sugar within the recipe is made up for with chopped dates and candied ginger: once baked, they take on a satisfying burst of sweetness akin to chocolate chips. You can also abandon the whole breakfast idea and use them as an ice cream topper…just a suggestion! Store in an airtight container in the freezer for months.
