Homemade Trail Mix Cookies
My friend Ruth introduced me to Trader Joes Trail Mix cookies while I was at Snap.
They were clearly good, I wanted to figure out a similar recipe. So, I bought all the ingredients, but I hadn’t had time to make it, when inspiration struck, why not make no bake trail mix cookies….
So I just basically used my go to no bake cookie recipe, but switched up a few of the ingredients. We love how they turned out!

Notes
** For the Trail mix- I used a bagged version from Walmart. If you'd rather just add the ingredients separately you will need 1/3 cup peanuts, 1/3 cup raisins, and 1/3 cup plain M&Ms (almonds were also in my mix, add a 1/3 cup if you'd like)What are some of your go-to go to treat recipes?
