These easy and chewy flourless gluten-free and paleo trail mix cookies are chock-full of everyday favorites like nuts, fruit and chocolate.

Flourless Trail Mix Cookies in Tin

Whether you’re looking for something to do with the kids while they’re at home or feel like treating yourself to something sweet, these flourless trail mix cookies are sure to please.   It’s amazing how a simple thing like a batch of freshly made cookies can bring some much needed joy to the day, especially when they’re as chock-full as these.

What’s in Trail Mix Cookies?

These trail mix cookies have it all, they’re sweet and chewy and filled with lots of tasty things. There’s almond butter, cashew butter, pecans, walnuts, coconut, dried cranberries, (or dried cherries) raisins and chocolate packed into every bite.  It’s like your favorite trail mix but in a delicious cookie form!

What you won’t find in these cookies is any flour or oil.  They’re a cinch to make and only require a bowl and a spoon which makes them ideal for a family baking session.  The kids can stir in all their favorites and then scoop them out on the baking sheet.

These cookies are also a great way to put to use all those jars of nut butter and bags of nuts, dried fruit and chocolate you may have stashed in your pantry.

The batter itself starts with a base of almond and cashew butter mixed together with a little coconut sugar and maple sugar for sweetness.  Next in is the egg, vanilla, salt and baking soda and you’re ready for the mix-ins.  This is where the fun comes in because almost anything goes.  I like a little shredded coconut for heartiness, pecans and walnuts for their toasty flavor, some dried cranberries and raisins for a bit of chewiness and chocolate because everything tastes better with chocolate, but you can customize to your liking or to what’s in your pantry.

Hearty but tender and loaded with flavor, these flourless trail mix cookies hit the spot any time of day, so get baking!
