My good friend, Jessica, just sent me this recipe she found in a magazine. She knew I'd been looking for a similar recipe for a breakfast cookie. This calls for dried apricots, but you could use any dried fruit. I tried it with raisins and swapped walnuts for pecans.

How To Make breakfast cookie

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, beat sugar, melted butter, and honey at medium speed with an electric mixer until combined. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add 1 cup walnuts, apricots, flour, and oat bran, beating until well combined (mixture will be thick). Drop dough in 12 equal portions on baking sheet, spacing 2 inches apart. Top evenly with remaining 1/2 cup walnuts.
