Trail Mix Oatmeal Cookies Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 3 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Beat butter and brown sugar together using an electric mixer in a mixing bowl until creamy. Add eggs and mix well. Mix in applesauce and vanilla extract until combined.
• Mix oats, whole wheat flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon together in a separate bowl. Stir butter mixture into flour mixture until well combined. Fold in raisins, coconut, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, and ground flax seed.
• 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.

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.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°.
• In a large mixing bowl cream together butter, sugars, eggs, and vanilla until almost fluffy.
• In another bowl stir together flour, very finely chopped (should almost resemble powder) nuts, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
• Slowly add your powdered ingredients to your creamed ingredients while mixing.
• Mix well.
• Now stir in the oats and trail mix.
• Drop by scoop or teaspoon onto hot stone or slightly greased cookie sheet.
• Bake for 11-14 minutes depending on cookie size.
• Remove cookies from baking sheet or stone right away and transfer to cooling racks.

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.

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.

Steps:

• Place rack in middle of oven and preheat to 375 degrees.
• Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper (or grease sheets).
• With mixer, beat together butter, shortening, and sugars in a large bowl until fluffy, about 2 minutes.
• Beat in egg, baking soda mixture, flour, salt and vanilla until just combined.
• Stir in oats, coconut, chocolate chips, nuts and raisins until well combined.
• Drop rounded tablespoons of dough about 4 inches apart onto baking sheets. With a fork flatten and spread each mound into a 3-inch round.
• Bake cookies, in batches, until golden, approximately10-12 minutes per batch.
• Transfer to rack to cool.
• Cookies will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.

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.
