Trail Mix Cookies (Break & Bake)
Make these flavor-filled cookies once and then pop into the freezer so you can enjoy them whenever you want.
Ingredients
- 1 cup flour
- 3/4 tsp. salt
- 3/4 tsp. baking soda
- 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 egg
- 1 egg yolk
- 1/2 tbs. vanilla extract
- 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup mix-ins (like dried cranberries, toasted almonds, peanuts, chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, toasted coconut, etc.)
Instructions
-
Line a 9" by 9" pan with parchment paper; coat with nonstick cooking spray. Or use a silicone pan.

Whisk flour, salt and baking soda in a medium bowl. Whisk brown sugar, oil, white sugar and melted butter in a large bowl until combined. Add egg, egg yolk and vanilla; whisk until smooth. Stir in flour mixture just until combined. Stir in oats and mix-ins.

Press dough into prepared dish. Cut into quarters (cutting all the way through to parchment) into 16-24 cookies. Pop the pan into the freezer and freeze until solid, about 1 hour. Then, transfer cookie dough squares into a large freezer bag and store in the freezer.

When ready to bake, heat oven to 350. Break off as many cookies as you want and bake on a cookie sheet (2" apart) for 12-14 minutes, or until lightly browned.
