We all love chocolate chip cookies, right? Who don’t? But, sometimes we want a little something different or something extra. Maybe with nuts or raisins or both. Just so happens, all those great ingredients are in Western Trail Mix. So, the Trail Mix cookie took over half the batch of dough and everyone was happy.
Yes, the kids still went for the chocolate chip. The baby can’t do nuts or raisins yet anyway, so that made sense. But mommy and daddy sure did like the trail mix cookie, maybe too much. They’re like a power bar, but better!
