Trailmix Oatmeal Cookies w/brown butter icing image

I always buy trailmix to munch on. So as a request to make oatmeal cookies I couldnt decide on nuts or raisins, so I thought a mix would be perfect. The trailmix has three different nuts raisins and chocolate! To add to them I found this recipe for brown butter icing from Paula Deen. Very tastey, makes a different kind of oatmeal...

Tips:

Use a variety of oats for a more complex flavor and texture. Try combining rolled oats, quick oats, and steel-cut oats.
Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape.
Bake the cookies until they are golden brown around the edges and just set in the center. Overbaking will make the cookies dry.
Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before storing them. This will help them keep their shape and flavor.
