Trail Mix Cookies- Vegetarian, Gluten Free Recipe

Who wants cookies? Especially if they are vegetarian and gluten free? Raise your hand!

Few days ago, I received some nut butters samples from this wonderful company Once Again Nut Butter. The company makes organic, gluten free certified, non GMO products that are delicious and affordable.  I tried peanut, cashew, sunflower seed and almond butters. All of them are delicious, but sunflower seed butter was my favorite. (Read the review here)

The samples came with the cutest raccoon ever, which is the company’s logo. We adopted him and named him Ralphie, so now he is part of our family. Did you know that there is a story behind the raccoon logo that Once Again Nut Butter company has? It seems like four bay raccoons grew up on the factory grounds. Apparently orphaned, they really enjoyed the nut butters, so in turn, the company adopted them and created the logo in their honor.

Anyway, I used the sunflower seed butter to make these delicious cookies. The cookies are vegetarian and gluten free. They are also very, VERY, easy to make! For real! I think that in total, it took me about 30 minutes from start to finish, as they have to bake only for 12-14 minutes. The result?

I mixed all the ingredients together and scooped them on a cookie tray:

Then, I baked them at 350 for 14 minutes and voila!

My family loved them! Crunchy on the outside, chewy on the inside, these cookies are a winner! Enjoy!
