WEST COAST TRAIL COOKIES
This cookie gets its name from the West Coast Trail on Vancouver Island. It's my adaptation of the perfect nut-free trail cookie that's been our family's favorite chewy oatmeal cookie for 10 years. Loaded with choco-chips and dried cranberries. The flax seed meal and pumpkin seeds give them a nutty taste, without the nuts. Perfect for school kids or those with allergies.

Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate. The chocolate is the most important ingredient in brownies, so it's important to use a good quality chocolate that you enjoy the taste of.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the brownies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the brownies at the right temperature. The brownies should be baked at a temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). If the oven is too hot, the brownies will overcook and become dry.
- Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them. This will help to prevent them from falling apart.
