Cookies for Trader Joe's

You lucky people, you. In the next three blogs - this one included - I will post more than one cookie recipe. Up to three! Can we say "just in time for the holidays"? I will begin this cookie extravaganza with a fun project that was bestowed on me by Trader Joe's. (Store 670 to be exact.) The fine men in charge commissioned me to invent cookies especially for their store to pass out to their beloved customers and share the recipes with them as well. You folks will be the first to see the recipes! So, here you are! I give you Breakfast Cookies, Apple Granola Cookies, and Pumpkin Cookies! Each recipe has only 5 ingredients. Very easy and very delicious. They have been Trader Joe employee approved. These are all of the ingredients that you will need.

To make the cookies, cream the butter and sugar together until light. Add the eggs and mix until incorporated. Add the muffin mix and trek mix until just combined. Scoop out about a tablespoonful and place on a lightly greased baking sheet two inches apart. Slightly flatten the balls so that they are not so round. Bake in a preheated oven (350 degrees F) for 10-12 minutes. Makes approximately 32 cookies.
