Side Of The Trail Cookies

Sweet treats on the trail just got a whole lot easier with these scrumptious cookies! Soft, chewy, and loaded with chocolate chips and crunchy walnuts, these babies are the perfect companion for your next adventure – whether that’s a hike or just a busy day ahead.

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
• 1/4 cup white granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.

Set aside. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy.

Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.

Gradually mix in the flour mixture until just combined, being careful not to overmix. Stir in the chocolate chips and walnuts.

Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.

Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

You’ll end up with 4 delicious cookies, perfect for snacking on the go!

Notes

Use high-quality chocolate chips for the best flavor. Don’t overmix the dough, as it can lead to tough cookies.

Walnuts can be swapped with pecans or hazelnuts for a different flavor profile.

For a crisper cookie, bake for 12 minutes. For a chewier cookie, bake for 10 minutes.

Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
