Trail Mix Cookies. These trail mix cookies are basically oatmeal cookies studded with the ingredients found in trail mix. The cookies themselves are no ordinary oatmeal cookies, however. By grinding some of the oatmeal into flour first, it imparts a delicious nutty flavor throughout the cookie, and we can use less all-purpose flour while adding in some more grains. These Trail Mix Cookies are a great little treat for you and your family. Filled with ingredients that you normally put it trail mix like sunflower seeds, dried cranberries, pecans and of course, some chocolate!
To me, it is not a good trail mix without some chocolate.
I happen to be a chocolate lover!

The combination I like best for these cookies is a mixture of pecans, walnuts, almonds, pepitas, dried cranberries, raisins, and chocolate chips. The second reason I love creating cookies is the versatility. The options are endless when it comes to cookies - chocolate, peanut butter, cranberry, mint…or TRAIL MIX COOKIES.
