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.
  • Do Ahead: Cookies can be made 1 week ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.

TRAIL MIX COOKIES



TRAIL MIX COOKIES image

Categories     Cookies     Chocolate     Dessert     Bake     Kid-Friendly

Yield 36 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 15

One cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons finely grated orange or lemon peel
1 cup sweet cream butter, at room temperature
1 cup brown sugar
½ cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon lemon or orange extract
3 cups oatmeal flakes (uncooked)
2 cups chocolate chips (white, bittersweet or semi-sweet)
1 cup toasted pine nuts
1 cup golden raisins
Sea salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. (If you have a convection oven, preheat it to 325 degrees F, convection.) Line 3 cookie sheets with parchment paper. In a small bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, baking soda and grated lemon or orange peel. Set aside. In a large mixing bowl or in the bowl of a standing mixer, beat together the butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until they are fully incorporated. Add in the vanilla extract and orange or lemon extract. Add in the flour mixture, beating just enough to combine. Then add the oatmeal flakes. Beat to combine, followed by the chocolate chips, pine nuts and raisins. Beat again to combine. Using a tablespoon or ice cream scoop, drop a large mound of cookie dough onto the prepared cookie sheets, spacing them a few inches apart. (The cookies will spread while baking, so you want to be sure they are not too close together.) Sprinkle with sea salt. Bake until the cookies are crispy and golden about 12 to 15 minutes. Repeat as necessary. Cool on a wire rack. Store the cookies in an airtight container until you are ready to eat them. They also freeze well for later use. Written and owned by Dena Testa Bray.
