How to Make Trail Mix Cookies
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened shortening, ¾ cup packed brown sugar, ¼ cup honey, and 2 large eggs until light and fluffy.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup wheat germ, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in 2 cups rolled oats, 1 cup mixed dried fruits (raisins, cranberries, etc.), 1 cup chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, etc.), ½ cup mixed seeds (sunflower, pumpkin, etc.), and 1 cup chocolate chips.
- Mix until everything is evenly distributed.
- Drop heaping tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set. Keep a close eye on them as ovens vary.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
