Cowboy Cookies are a delicious, hearty treat filled with a variety of ingredients that give them a wonderful texture and flavor. They are known for their combination of chocolate chips, oats, coconut, and nuts, making them both chewy and crunchy. Here’s a classic recipe for Cowboy Cookies:
Ingredients:
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened)
1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cream the butter and sugars together in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes). You can use an electric mixer or beat by hand with a wooden spoon.
Add the eggs and vanilla to the butter mixture and mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined.
