Trail Mix Oat Cookies Recipes

TRAIL MIX OATMEAL COOKIES RECIPE

Steps:

• Line one or two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats, set aside.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer or in 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, 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.
• Using a standard size cookie scoop (#40 or 1.5 tablespoons), place balls of cold 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 wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

• Drop dough by rounded tablespoon onto the prepared baking pans, flattening slightly using a fork dipped in a glass of cold water.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden and set, 11 to 13 minutes.

TRAIL MIX WITH HONEY-OATMEAL CLUSTERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Mist a baking sheet with cooking spray. Toss the oats with 2 tablespoons water, the vegetable oil, wheat germ and honey. Form small clusters of the mixture on the baking sheet and bake until crisp, about 15 minutes.
• Add the mixed dried fruit to the baking sheet, sprinkle with the cinnamon and bake 3 to 5 more minutes. Let cool, then toss with the nuts, sunflower seeds, raisins, coconut and M&M's. Store in an airtight container.

TRAIL MIX COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 2 baking sheets.
• Beat applesauce, white sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla in a large bowl. In another bowl, use an electric mixer to beat egg whites until they are frothy and begin to firm up. Fold egg whites into applesauce mixture. Combine the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Fold into the egg mixture. Stir in the oats, chocolate chips, walnuts, and cranberries. Drop by heaping teaspoons on prepared baking sheets.
• Bake cookies in preheated oven until set and lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Remove immediately to wire racks to cool.

TRAIL MIX COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
• In a medium-sized bowl, combine oats, flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
• With a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter, brown sugar and honey for 1-2 minutes, until smooth and creamy. Add egg and vanilla and beat to combine.
• Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and beat until combined. Stir in 1¼ cup of trail mix.
• Scoop the dough into 2-tablespoon balls and place a couple inches apart on the baking sheets (the dough will be sticky). If the dough is too sticky you can chill it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Use the remaining ¼ cup trail mix to press some pieces onto the top of each dough ball (this makes the trail mix more visible and makes for a prettier cookie). For thinner cookies (pictured) lightly press down on the dough balls to flatten just slightly. Or leave the dough balls in a mound for thicker cookies.
• Bake for 8-10 minutes, until the edges of the cookies are golden brown and the very center is still slightly underdone. Do not over bake, as they will finish cooking on the baking sheet. Place the baking sheets on wire racks and allow the cookies to cool completely.

TRAIL MIX OAT COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°.
• In bowl, beat together honey, brown sugar, margarine and canola oil until creamy and well blended.
• Mix in oats, vanilla and eggs; then flour, oat bran, wheat germ, baking powder and baking soda. Mix until well combined.
• Stir in peanut butter, then M & M's or chocolate chips, peanuts, if using, and sunflower seeds.
• Drop by rounded tablespoons about 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Flatten slightly.
• Bake in preheated oven 12 minutes or until cookies are set and begin to brown.
• Cool on cookie sheets about 1 minute, then remove and cool completely on wire rack.

OATMEAL TRAIL MIX COOKIES

Steps:

• In a bowl cream the butter and the shortening with the sugars and beat in the egg, the baking soda mixture, the flour, the salt, and the vanilla. Stir in the oats, the coconut, the chocolate chips, the peanuts, and the raisins. Drop rounded tablespoons of the dough about 4 inches apart onto greased baking sheets and with a fork flatten and spread each mound into a round, about 3 inches in diameter. Bake the cookies in batches in the middle of a preheated 375°F. oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until they are golden, transfer them with a metal spatula to racks, and let them cool.

TRAIL MIX COOKIES

Steps:

• Place racks in upper and lower thirds of oven; preheat to 350°F. Toast nuts and seeds and oats on a rimmed baking sheet, tossing once, until golden brown, 10-12 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl; let cool.
• Meanwhile, mix egg, butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, vanilla, salt, and baking soda in a large bowl; let sit until nuts are cool (this will make for a chewier cookie).
• Add dried fruit and chocolate to nut mixture; toss to combine. Give egg mixture a good stir, then stir in flour. Mix in nut mixture, smashing it against the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula, until combined and mix-ins are evenly coated in dough. (It will look like too many mix-ins, but dough will come together as it chills.) Cover and chill at least 2 hours and up to 3 days.
• Reheat oven to 350°F. Using a ⅓-cup measure or #16 cookie scoop, portion out dough, packing firmly, to make 12 cookies. Divide between 2 parchment-lined baking sheets as you go. Using measuring cup or your hand, press cookies into 2½"-diameter disks about ¾" thick; sprinkle with sea salt.
• Bake cookies, rotating baking sheets top to bottom and front to back once, until golden brown and no longer wet-looking, 11-13 minutes. Let cool on baking sheets.
• Do Ahead: Cookies can be made 1 week ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.
