Cowboy Cookies are delicious, hearty cookies that often include a mix of oats, chocolate chips, coconut, and nuts. They are known for their chewy texture and rich flavors. Below is a basic Cowboy Cookies recipe for you to try out:
Ingredients:
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups rolled oats (old-fashioned oats)
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup shredded coconut (sweetened or unsweetened, as preferred)
1 cup chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts work well)
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Stir in the rolled oats, chocolate chips, shredded coconut, and chopped nuts until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a cookie scoop or your hands, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving enough space between each cookie to allow for spreading.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may appear slightly underdone, but they will firm up as they cool.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
Enjoy your delicious Cowboy Cookies with a glass of milk or a cup of coffee!
Note: Feel free to customize the recipe to your liking by adding other mix-ins such as dried fruits, toffee bits, or different types of chocolate. Also, you can adjust the cookie size depending on your preference, but remember to adjust the baking time accordingly. Happy baking!
