Week 4 - Trail Mix Cookies

Real food is good and all - but I still really like cookies. So last night I made the cookies for week four - trail mix cookies. You can do a million variations of these by switching the ingredients in your trail mix. Mine had a lot of nuts - but next time I will probably add some coconut, and of course there is always the option to add some chocolate chips. These are probably the healthiest cookies I will make all year...



1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp allspice
2 eggs
3 mashed bananas
1 tsp vanilla
1.5 cups flour
1.5 cups rolled oats
2.5 cups trail mix

Preheat the over to 375 F.

Beat the butter, add the sugar (brown and granulated), baking soda, baking powder and allspice and beat all the ingredients together until combined.

Beat in the eggs, mashed bananas and vanilla. Then add the flour. Once the mixture is combined add the rolled oats and trail mix.

Drop tsp sized cookies onto an ungreased baking sheet and bake for 11 minutes until golden brown.
