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 chocolate chips
- ½ cup chopped pecans
- ⅓ cup dried cranberries
You’ll also need:
- Measuring cups and spoons
- 3 mixing bowls (2 medium, 1 small)
- Handheld mixer
- Spatula
- Cookie sheets
- Parchment paper
- Wire cooling racks
Get baking!
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Line the cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- In the medium bowl, beat together the applesauce, both sugars, and vanilla. Set aside.
- With the handheld mixer, beat the egg whites in the small bowl until frothy. Gently stir the egg whites into the applesauce mixture.
- In the third bowl, combine the dry flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Gentle stir into the egg mixture.
- Stir in the oats, white chocolate chips, pecans, and cranberries. Drop by heaping tablespoons onto the parchment paper on the cookie sheets.
- Bake 9-10 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on wire racks.
Quick tips:
- Want to change it up a bit? Substitute (or add in!) other dried fruits – like coarsely chopped apricots – or trade the white chocolate chips for semisweet. If you like walnuts better than pecans, switch them out! This recipe is easily modified to your particular taste.
- Make ahead: If you don’t want to dirty up extra bowls, combine sets of ingredients ahead of time in food storage bags – like the flour mixture, or the fruit/chocolate/nuts – and combine them when you’re ready to bake.
