The Ultimate Breakfast Cookie

Why is this the ultimate breakfast cookie, you ask? That's easy: It combines all our favorite things: chocolate, corn flakes, cinnamon, and — wait for it — bacon. Even though the bacon comes in the form of the vegetarian variety (we aim to be inclusive here at R29!), the meeting of savory and sweet creates the perfect little grab-and-go breakfast.
