Trail Mix Cookies
Ingredients:
- ½ cup applesauce
- ½ cup white sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 egg whites
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 ¼ cups quick cooking oats
- ½ cup white, semi-sweet, or dark chocolate chips
- ½ cup chopped pecans, walnuts, or macadamia nuts
- ⅓ cup dried cranberries, raisins, or dried apricots
Note: The last three ingredients are where you can have some fun! Just pick your favorite combination of chocolate, nuts, and dried fruit. If you’re looking for inspiration, try these combos:
- Dark chocolate chips, walnuts, and dried apricots
- Semi-sweet chocolate chips, pecans, and golden raisins
- White chocolate chips, macadamia nuts, and cranberries
Directions:
- Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and lining your cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the applesauce, white sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract, stirring until well mixed.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites on high with a hand mixer until they become frothy. Gently fold the frothy egg whites into the applesauce mixture, ensuring everything is evenly combined.
- Next, in another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just blended—be careful not to overmix.
- Now, it’s time to fold in the oats, along with your chosen chocolate, nuts, and dried fruit. Once combined, chill the dough in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to an hour.
- Using a large spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared cookie sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake the cookies for 9-10 minutes, or until they turn a beautiful golden brown. Transfer them to wire racks to cool.
