Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 2 units large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups trail mix (unsweetened with nuts, dried fruit, and chocolate)
- 0.5 cup rolled oats
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then mix in the vanilla extract.
Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Fold in the trail mix and rolled oats using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers remain soft.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
