Prep the oven and pans. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
Make the batter. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, use a fork to blend the egg whites with the sugar. Then mix in the peanut butter until you have a smooth mixture. Fold in the trail mix and stir until it's incorporated into the dough evenly.
Shape the cookies. Use a 2 inch cookie scoop or a couple of teaspoons to shape the batter, adding them parchment-lined baking sheets as you go. Gently flatten them down a bit with your hands. (These cookies shouldn't spread much, if at all.)
Bake and cool. Bake in the preheated 350°F oven for approximately 10 to 12 minutes. They should still look a bit doughy when you remove them from the oven, and will solidify as they cool. Let the cookies cool for at least 5 minutes before removing them from the baking sheet. Use a flat-bottomed metal spatula to move them to a cooling rack or a plate.
