https://www.marthastewart.com/1034356/skillet-chocolate-chip-cookie#reviewSection

1/4 cup olive oil
1/3 cup packed dark-brown sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3/4 cup all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
1/4 cup almond flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup chopped walnuts
3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, combine oil and sugars with a wooden spoon. Stir in egg and vanilla. Stir in flours, baking soda, salt, and optional cinnamon. Stir in chips and walnuts.
I use a 1.5 tbspoon cookie scoop and bake for 10 minutes.


I stopped right there. Healthy enough for what? Highway to obesity?


You need help if you think olive oil and brown sugar in homemade goods are culprits in obesity.


NP. Brown sugar is essentially the same as white sugar, by the way. A trace more minerals, but that's it.

Why is your teen eating a cookie for breakfast?

Egg bites are popular with teens and can be made ahead. Starbucks serves them too.

My whole family likes this. It can also be baked in a square pan and cut in squares. To reheat cover with a damp paper towel and microwave for 30 sec at a time until hot enough.

https://www.dietdoctor.com/recipes/keto-egg-muffins you can vary the meat or cheese based on what you have. If freezing them, I put a few in the fridge overnight to defrost. Easy to eat on the go, too.

A chocolate chip cookie is not a healthy breakfast and it will lead to a sugar crash.


I’ve gotten egg bites from Costco. Definitely cheaper than Starbucks and easier than trying to home make the little disc shape.

That's just a chocolate chip walnut cookie with olive oil instead of butter. Not any healthier, IMO.

Much better to do some sort of egg option. Or a protein waffle with peanut butter if your teen doesn't like eggs. Or steel cut oats made in a batch ahead of time. But he/she should be able to make or heat up any of these things on their own!

I can’t imagine overthinking a teenager’s breakfast like this. You all are nuts.

It depends on how many cookies a batch makes - 1/3 cup brown sugar and 3/4 cup chocolate chips can be a lot depending on how much makes it into each cookie. I'd also look for more whole grains and protein to keep your teen full for longer. This seems like a lot of sugars and carbs that they'll burn through pretty quickly.

I give my kid oatmeal cookies for breakfast sometimes, so I think it's fine (I'm also not that into olive oil in cookies).

No chocolate for breakfast always seemed like a good rule for my family.

It's a snack, not breakfast.

I'm also anti-olive pil in cookies. But I can see how, overall, this recipe is probably decent. I just wouldn't call it a healthy breakfast.
