Trailmix Oatmeal Cookies w/brown butter icing image

I always buy trailmix to munch on. So as a request to make oatmeal cookies I couldnt decide on nuts or raisins, so I thought a mix would be perfect. The trailmix has three different nuts raisins and chocolate! To add to them I found this recipe for brown butter icing from Paula Deen. Very tastey, makes a different kind of oatmeal...

Be sure to toast your nuts and seeds before using them. This will help to bring out their flavor and make them more crunchy.
Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing can make the cookies tough. Just mix until the ingredients are combined.
Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies to hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
