Coconut Trail Mix Cookies

You’ll love these healthier version of a Coconut Trail Mix Cookie. They’re made with coconut oil, coconut sugar, and whole wheat flour all of which are much better for our bodies than traditional ingredients. The best part is NO one will ever guess! I know. It’s awesome 🙂

Good Morning all my friends at the 36th AVENUE! It’s Ruthie from Cooking with Ruthie and I’m so happy to be here with you. I’ve been a contributor here with y’all for a few years now and sadly, the time has come to say farewell. I’ve loved coming to share some of my kitchen creations each month and just love Dezi to pieces but I’m graduating culinary school and life is calling me to simply some things. So, in honor of my last visit, here are some of my very favorite cookies… Coconut Trail Mix Cookies!

I love the color pop that the M&M Trail Mix gives these cookies. You can use whatever kind you happen to have on hand, it’ll work just fine to add in that little bit of sweet yumminess that a cookie needs!
