Full of goodness these cookies are the perfect pick me up during or after a good day of hiking.
Note: you do need to earn them as they are calorie dense… and it is hard to have just one (in other words- don’t follow Shayne’s lead)!
Makes 24 good sized cookies
Ingredients:
¾ cup of butter
¾ of brown sugar
½ cup of granulated sugar
2 tbsp of water
1 egg
1 tsp of vanilla
¾ cup of whole wheat flour
1 tsp of baking soda
½ tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
3 cups rolled oats
2 cups of assorted seeds, nuts, dried fruit and chocolate.
(I use cranberries, flax seeds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds and dark chocolate chips)
