KIDDOS FAVORITE TRAIL MIX



Kiddos Favorite Trail Mix image

Easy, nutritious, keeps for a long time (in a sealed container), easily "tweaked" to fit your personal tastes. A REAL kid-pleaser. Great for bringing snack on your child's turn at preschool/daycare. Although it may be wise to omit the ingredients containing peanuts (when considering a choice for nuts and regarding the peanut butter chips) as the allergy to peanuts is increasingly common and potentially life-threatening. Also great for a cooking activity with small children...wash their hands and let them throw handfulls of the ingredients together.

Yield Makes 12 (3") cookies

Number Of Ingredients 13

1½ cups assorted raw nuts and seeds
½ cup (60 g) old-fashioned oats
1 large egg
4 Tbsp. unsalted butter, melted
¼ cup (packed; 50 g) dark brown sugar
2 Tbsp. (25 g) granulated sugar
1½ tsp. vanilla extract
1 tsp. kosher salt
½ tsp. baking soda
¾ cup assorted dried fruit (cut into ½" pieces if large)
¾ cup chopped bittersweetchocolate bars or chips or disks
½ cup (63 g) all-purpose flour
Flaky sea salt

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.
