Breakfast Bean Cookies

I just made these cookies, found on the Parents Canada site and they are scrumptious!  They don't flatten very much, so do ensure that you do flatten them with your hand. 

Some hints on their directions:
Since I don't own a food processor, I ground up the oats in my blender, which worked really well, but then had to transfer them to a bowl to mix it with the other dry ingredients.  However, when I tried to puree the beans, it didn't work, so I did it with my immersion blender, which worked much better.  Then I mixed the butter, beans, sugar, etc together with my stand mixer and continued with the rest of the instructions using my stand mixer.  So, they were a bit "machine" intensive, but the results were well worth it - and the kids liked them too!
