CHUNKY TRAIL MIX BREAKFAST COOKIES



Chunky Trail Mix Breakfast Cookies image

This is a modified version of a recipe I found on the King Arthur Flour site. I get asked for this recipe every time I share them with someone. I love to make a big batch and freeze them for later. They thaw well in the microwave for about 30 seconds and go great with a latte or cup of strong coffee in the morning (though my husband will tell you they are great any time of day!). If you don't like my "add-ins" you can substitute your choice of dried fruit, chips, oats and nuts (a total of 4 1/2 cups). Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use a variety of nuts and seeds. This will give your cookies a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include almonds, walnuts, pecans, chia seeds, and pumpkin seeds.
  • Choose dried fruits that you enjoy. Raisins, cranberries, cherries, and apricots are all popular choices.
  • Be careful not to overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined.
  • Bake the cookies at a low temperature for a longer period of time. This will help to prevent them from burning.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before serving. This will help them to firm up.
