Trail Mix Cookie Cups

Trail Mix Cookie Cups

Makes 3-4 dozen.

Threw these together with ingredients I had around the kitchen.  And they turned out great!  Loved the consistency from baking them in a muffin tin.

2-1/4 c. all-purpose flour
1 t. salt
1 t. baking soda
1 c. butter, softened (2 sticks)
3/4 c. sugar
3/4 c. brown sugar
1 t. vanilla
2 eggs
2 c. trail mix -- I threw together peanuts, raisins, M&Ms, mini semisweet chocolate chips, and peanut butter chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  In a medium size bowl, mix together dry ingredients (flour, salt, and soda).  In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugars until well combined.  Add vanilla and eggs; beat well.

Gradually mix in dry ingredients until combined.  Do not beat.  Stir in trail mix.

Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls into a mini muffin tin.  If you do not have a non-stick pan, be sure to grease and flour first. 

Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until golden brown and just set.  Cool completely in pan, or at least until cups can be removed without breaking apart.
