Ten days of Christmas-Day 7 Cookies

Day 7 Trail Mix Cookies

I love these cookies. I randomly created them once. I was planning on making chocolate chip cookies and didn't have a full bag of them. I had oatmeal and some raisins and viola, I created Trail Mix Cookies. Now I make them each year at Christmas.

Here is the recipe:

It makes about 5 dozen cookies

Ingredients:
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup sugar
3/4 cups butter
1/4 cup shortening
2 large eggs
3 tbsp milk
2 tsp vanilla
2 1/2 cups oats
2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda, salt, and baking powder
*Here is where the trail mix comes into play: Now add two cups of a mix of chocolate chips, walnuts, pecans,craisins, raisins or what ever else you want to add.

• Preheat oven to 350
• Mix sugars, butter, and shortening together.
• Add egg, milk and vanilla.
• In a separate bowl mix dry ingredients together.
• Slowly add  dry mixture to butter mixture.
• Once mixed together add in trail mix items.
• Chill mixture in fridge for 1 hour
•  Place spoonfuls onto cookie sheet and bake for 12 minutes.

ENJOY!
