Trail Mix Sugar Cookies Recipes

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:

• 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.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Whisk together all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, flax seed meal, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.
• Beat together butter, brown sugar, and white sugar in a large bowl until smooth and creamy; Stir in eggs and vanilla. Stir flour mixture into creamed butter mixture until dough is just combined. Fold oats, chocolate chips, cranberries, coconut, and pumpkin seeds into dough just until evenly combined.
• Shape dough into 1 1/2-inch balls or drop by heaping tablespoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart; press to flatten slightly.
• Bake cookies in the preheated oven until lightly golden at the edges, about 12 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes; transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F.
• Cream the shortening, brown sugar, honey and eggs together.
• Combine the flour, wheat germ, baking soda and salt.
• Add to the creamed mixture gradually and beat until blended.
• Stir in the oats, fruits, nuts, seeds and chocolate chips.
• Mix well.
• Drop dough by heaping tablespoons about 2 inches apart onto a greased cookie sheet.
• Bake for 10-15 minutes or until golden.
• Cool for 5 minutes on the cookie sheet, then transfer cookies to a rack and cool completely.
