Colorado Trail Mix Muesli Cookies

After making the move to Colorado and exploring the vast network of trails, it’s only fitting I name one of my Biked Goods after this incredible state. I was on a ride one morning and happened to be on a segment of the Colorado Trail. Packed with me was a very special cookie. They are made with my favorite homemade muesli mix, whole wheat flour, honey, peanut butter, butter, and coconut sugar. Now, this is the definition of the perfect trail mix cookie. A little sweet. A little buttery. And wonderfully comforting. Pack 2-3 and enjoy them on a long segment of your favorite trail network. In my mind though, these cookies happen to be best enjoyed on the great Colorado Trail. See ya’ll out there!
