Tropical Trail Mix Cookies

Teresa Ambra
Tropical Trail Mix Cookies are heavenly! These adorable cookies include loads of miniature chocolate chips and Tropical Trail Mix. The trail mix uses fruits like papaya, pineapple, craisins, raisins and banana along with cashews and almonds. The combination of flavors is phenomenal. Great for tailgating parties, potlucks or anytime you want to enjoy milk and cookies.

Equipment

  • 3 18x26" cookie sheet pans or as many as needed
  • 1 large mixing bowl
  • 1 electric mixer
  • 1 wooden spoon
  • 1 spatula
  • 1 1/4 cup cookie scoop
  • measuring cups
  • measuring spoons
  • 3 wire cooling racks

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups unsalted butter softened (3 sticks
  • 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 1/4 cups light brown sugar packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tbsp. pure vanilla extract (tablespoon not teaspoon)
  • 2 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 tsp. sea salt
  • 4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour (Bleached flour toughens baked goods)
  • 12 oz. pkg. miniature chocolate chips
  • 3 cups Tropical Trail Mix

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°.
  • Mix butter, sugars, eggs, vanilla, baking soda and salt with electric beaters in a large mixing bowl until smooth.
  • Stir in flour, chocolate chips and Tropical Trail Mix.
  • Stir thoroughly; this may take 4-5 minutes.
  • With a large cookie scoop, scoop cookie dough and pack into scoop.
  • Place onto ungreased cookie sheets approximately 2-inches apart.
  • Bake 12-15 minutes or until lightly browned.
  • Rotate cookies on racks every seven to eight minutes while baking.
  • Cool cookies about 5 minutes on cookie sheets before removing to wire racks to cool completely.

Notes

NOTE: My cookies took about 18 minutes to bake completely.
 
NOTE: You will probably need to stir the cookie dough about 5 minutes to get all the flour worked into it.
 
NOTE: If the cookie dough crumbles coming out of the cookie scoop, either the dough wasn’t stirred long enough, or the dough wasn’t packed into the cookie scoop well enough.
 
NOTE: I purchase Tropical Trail Mix in the snack section at Walmart.
