Everything Cookie

Laura Wright’s Everything Cookie from The First Mess is a hearty, nutrient-dense, vegan breakfast cookie packed with oats, nuts, seeds, coconut, chocolate chips, and a kiss of maple syrup. It’s designed to be sturdy enough for grab-and-go mornings, yet soft and chewy like a granola bar in cookie form.
