Oaty Trail Mix Chocolate Chip Cookies


My Hungry Puppies have really been into trail mix lately.  You know, the kind that has peanuts and almonds and raisins and chocolate chips?  The combination of almonds, chocolate and raisins together has been really appealing to me, so I put it in a cookie.  With some oatmeal for good measure.  These cookies are yummy and chunky and delicious.  I left out the peanuts (obviously...), so we have oats, almonds, pecans, milk chocolate chips, and raisins. Perfect!

Oaty Trail Mix Chocolate Chip Cookies

1 cup (2 sticks) butter, room temperature
1 1/4 cups packed brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 3/4 cup all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup old fashioned oatmeal
1 cup milk chocolate chips
1 cup raisins
1/2 cup pecans
1/2 cup almonds

Preheat the oven to 375F.  Line a  baking sheet with parchment paper.

Cream together the margarine, butter, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.  Beat in the egg and vanilla until well blended and smooth.  Add the flour, baking soda, salt, and oatmeal, and beat just until combined.  Stir in the chocolate chips, raisins, pecans, and almonds until evenly distributed.

Use a cookie scoop to scoop the dough into balls (about 2 Tablespoon size) and place on the prepared baking sheet.  Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 to 11 minutes, or until golden brown on the top.  Remove cookies from the oven and let cool on the pan for 2 to 3 minutes.  Transfer cookies to a cooling rack to cool completely. Makes about 2 dozen cookies.

Enjoy!  -Cardamommy
