Relay and Rally Cookies

In 2014 I ran a “Reach the Beach” rally and I made cookies that I dubbed the "Relay and Rally" cookie. Well, I have recently come back to these gems and I thought you might enjoy them too! If you love cookies with texture, these are right up your ally, chock-full of nuts and seeds, these are a great alternative to traditional chocolate chip cookies.

I simply took a traditional Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe and made a variety of substitutions to create the perfect runner fuel for a 200 mile relay. They were a big hit then, and I think you’ll enjoy them now too!
