Servings: 18 Cookies
Calories: 305kcal
Ingredients
- 1/2 c. unsalted butter room temperature
- 1/3 c. granulated sugar
- 1/3 c. brown sugar
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1 1/2 c. old fashioned oats
- 1 c. all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp. baking soda
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1 1/4 c. trail mix reserve 2 tbsp. to press on top, if desired
Instructions
- Line one or two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats; set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer or a large mixing bowl with a hand mixer, cream the butter and sugars together until pale, about 2 minutes.
- Add the vanilla, then the egg, and mix until combined.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the oats, flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until a few streaks of flour remain. Using a spatula, fold in the trail mix by hand until evenly distributed.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
- Using a standard-sized cookie scoop (#40 or 1.5 tablespoons), place balls of cold cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets. Press reserved trail mix on top, if desired.
- Place in the oven and bake for 10-13 minutes, then remove and let cool on sheets for 3 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Notes
STORE your Trail Mix Cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-5 days to keep them fresh. For longer storage, FREEZE the cookies in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months.
When ready to enjoy, let them thaw at room temperature. For that fresh-baked taste, REHEAT in a 300°F (150°C) oven for 5-7 minutes or briefly in the microwave.
