CHUNKY TRAIL MIX BREAKFAST COOKIES



Chunky Trail Mix Breakfast Cookies image

This is a modified version of a recipe I found on the King Arthur Flour site. I get asked for this recipe every time I share them with someone. I love to make a big batch and freeze them for later. They thaw well in the microwave for about 30 seconds and go great with a latte or cup of strong coffee in the morning (though my husband will tell you they are great any time of day!). If you don't like my "add-ins" you can substitute your choice of dried fruit, chips, oats and nuts (a total of 4 1/2 cups). Enjoy!

Time 40m

Yield 24 big cookies, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup crunchy peanut butter
1 1/4 cups brown sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 eggs
1/3 cup milk
1 1/4 cups white whole wheat flour
1/3 cup non-fat powdered milk
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup old fashioned oats
1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup peanut butter chips
1/2 cup dried cherries
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup golden raisin

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F Spray two baking sheets with nonstick pan spray.
  • In the bowl of your mixer combine the butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, and vanilla. Beat on medium high speed until lightened and fluffy.
  • Add in the eggs and liquid milk, mix until well combined. Scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl once or twice.
  • On low speed mix in the flour, dried milk, cinnamon and salt. Mix until the dough is cohesive. Add last 6 ingredients until combined.
  • Use a 1/4 cup to measure out batter. Place 2 inches apart, slightly flattening each mound. This recipe contains no leaveners, so the cookies will only spread and rise slightly.
  • Bake the cookies for 18-20 minutes, until lightly browned. Do not over-bake or the cookies will be dry and crumbly. Cool on cookie sheets for 5-8 minutes. Move to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!

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.
