Breakfast cookie

Mom, isn't the breakfast cookie recipe in that great recipe book I made for you years ago?!? Surely it's in there... ;-)

I thought I still had that recipe. In fact, I really feel like I just saw it. But, maybe I saw it at your house when I was going through the basket of recipes on the fridge?? Anyway, I can't seem to find it now. I looked a little online and this recipe looks the most similar, but I can't even remember if the one I made had some sort of cereal in it or not...I just remember the applesauce. And I know I used at least some, if not all, whole wheat flour.
