These cookies quickly became a favorite of mine after trying this recipe for the first time a few years ago. If you like oatmeal raisin cookies, then you'll love this heartier version. You may just find yourself substituting your usual breakfast with one... or maybe two. Hey, I won't judge! A cookie packed with this many seeds, nuts and raisins has to be good for you right? Well, I use the words "good for you" loosely, but after you take your first bite you'll be convinced that they must be "good for you" too!
CHEWY TRAIL MIX COOKIES
INGREDIENTS
| 1¾ | sticks butter, softened |

| ¾ | cup granulated sugar |
| 4 | tablespoons honey |
| 2 | eggs |

| 1 | cup raw pumpkin seeds |

DIRECTIONS
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Use nonstick baking sheets or line baking sheets with parchment paper.
