I’ve been baking altogether too much lately, but believe it or not, this is an old recipe that I just discovered that I’d never shared. During the summer of 2012, I worked on a project with WhoNu? Cookies (now WhoKnew) creating recipes using their cookies. Yes, the recipe-creation project was paid, but I am not or was not compensation for sharing those recipes here. I shared the Individual Whole Wheat Banana Pudding, the Cookies-n-Cream Yogurt Smoothie, and the Chocolate Chip Cookie Pops last September, but then apparently got distracted and forgot to keep sharing the rest.
It’s time.
If you’re not familiar with WhoKnew Cookies, here’s the run-down: WhoKnew cookies are a good source of fiber, include 4 grams of whole grain, and have as much calcium as an 8 oz. glass of milk. While they DO have whole grains, calcium and fiber, they DO NOT include any high fructose corn syrup, hydrogenated oils, trans fats, and artificial colors, flavors, and preservatives.
They’re good stuff.
On to the recipe!

These look super good. I have never used cookies in a muffin mix before. I like that this recipe has whole wheat flour in it.
