West Coast Trail Cookie Delight

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make West Coast Trail Cookie Delight.

1. Step 1

   Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and prepare two baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

2. Step 2

   In a mixing bowl, combine unbleached all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, flax seed meal, ground cinnamon, baking soda, and salt, whisking them together until they form a harmonious blend.

3. Step 3

   In a separate large bowl, cream together softened butter, dark brown sugar, and white sugar until the mixture is luxuriously smooth and creamy.

4. Step 4

   Introduce the eggs and a splash of vanilla extract, mixing until everything is beautifully incorporated.

5. Step 5

   Gradually fold the flour mixture into the buttery blend, stirring gently to avoid overmixing.

6. Step 6

   Now, it’s time to add the fun ingredients: fold in rolled oats, semisweet chocolate chips, dried cranberries, shredded coconut, and chopped pumpkin seeds, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

7. Step 7

   With your hands, shape the dough into 1 1/2-inch balls or drop generous tablespoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each.

8. Step 8

   Lightly press each ball to flatten them just a bit.

9. Step 9

   Bake these delightful cookies in your preheated oven for around 12 minutes, or until the edges turn a lovely golden brown.
