Breakfast Cookies (Dairy, Egg, Gluten, Grain and Refined Sugar Free)

By Irene Shaver @hhwife
I love protein for breakfast and sometimes actually get tired of drinking a protein shake.  These cookies are a great alternative.  They are hearty and give you lots of energy for the day.  Filled with protein, iron, fiber and omegas they will give you the boost you need to get going.
