Whole Wheat Peanut Butter Trail Mix Cookie Recipe

It’s summer! Time for hikes, camping, road- trips, airplane trips, and trips to the pool! This cookie is perfect for all that is mentioned as it is full of protein, whole wheat and you don’t feel as guilty feeding it to your children.

I didn’t actually use a pack of trail mix in this cookie recipe because I was worried it might add to much salt. Instead, I just picked my favorite components from trail mix and added them in separately. It’s a very versatile recipe and you can decide how much of each add-in to put in. Use some creative liberty! I added way more m&ms then raisins to appease my sweetheart, so feel free to adjust and change the amounts and items to add!
