Trail Mix Cookies
 
Ingredients
  • 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup creamy peanut butter (not the natural or freshly made kind; they are too watery)
  • 1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup dark raisins
  • ⅔ cup salted roasted peanuts
  • ½ cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cup mini M & M's
Instructions
  1. Heat oven to 375 degrees. Have ungreased cookie sheets ready.
  2. In large bowel of electric mixer, cream together butter and peanut butter. Beat in brown sugar, a little at a time, beating after each addition. Beat in egg and vanilla and mix well.
  3. Mix in the flour and baking soda until smooth and blended. Add raisins, peanuts, chocolate chips, and M & M's.
  4. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto cookie sheets, and bake for about 8 to 9 minutes, or until the tops begin to look a golden color.
  5. Remove from oven and let cookies sit on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
