Time 1h15m

Yield 60 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup butter or 1 cup margarine
1 cup sugar
1 1/4 cups firmly packed dark brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 2/3 cups flour
1 cup very finely chopped nuts (I use brazil nuts)
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups old fashioned oats
2 cups trail mix

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.

Tips:

  • Opt for high-quality ingredients to ensure the best flavor and texture.
  • Use a food processor to quickly and finely chop the nuts and seeds.
  • If you don't have a food processor, finely chop the nuts and seeds with a sharp knife.
  • Don't overmix the dough, as this will result in tough cookies.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking to help the flavors develop.
  • Bake the cookies until they are golden brown around the edges but still slightly soft in the center.
  • Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before enjoying.
