PEANUT BUTTER TRAIL MIX COOKIES

Peanut Butter Trail Mix Cookies image

I love peanut butter, oatmeal, and bananas--put the three together with my favorite trail mix and it's the perfect cookie! These are hearty enough to have for breakfast, which is how I like to eat them, along with a cup of hot chai tea. YUM! I adapted this recipe from the one in "Cookies! A Cookie Lover's Collection" cookbook--their recipe was a little too crumbly.

Ingredients

5 tablespoons butter or 5 tablespoons margarine
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup chunky peanut butter
1 banana, mashed
1 egg white
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup white flour
2 tablespoons flax seed meal (optional(adds fiber and omega 3s)
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 3/4 cups uncooked old-fashioned oatmeal
1 cup trail mix

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Cream butter and brown sugar until smooth.
Add peanut butter and blend well.
Mix in egg white, banana and vanilla.
Add flours, flax seed meal, baking powder and salt and stir until well mixed.
Add oatmeal and stir until soft dough forms.
If the trail mix has large chunks (like dried pineapple), cut into smaller chunks, then measure to make 1 cup.
Stir trail mix into the batter.
You can either drop the dough by heaping teaspoonsful onto the cookie sheet (sprayed with cooking spray) or shape the batter a litte into flattened balls of dough. I like to shape them a bit.
Place the cookies about 2 inches apart on the cookie sheet.
Bake for 8 - 12 minutes or until set.

I'm not a fan of peanut butter cookies, but I thought I'd give these a try. I was pleasantly surprised! They're really good.

These cookies are a lot of work to make. I don't think they're worth the effort.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cookies turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.

These cookies are a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I'm allergic to peanuts, but I was able to make these cookies with almond butter instead. They turned out great!

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover peanut butter. I always have a jar of peanut butter in my pantry, so it's nice to have a recipe that uses it up.
