Hearty Breakfast Cookies image

These cookies are a delicious and hearty alternative to doughnuts or pastries. Also great to pack in lunches and on trips. Try one with your morning coffee or tea. For a slightly richer treat, use buttermilk in place of the water. Substitute dates for the raisins, if you prefer.

I'm not a big fan of raisins, so I substituted them with dried cranberries. The cookies were still delicious.
