Here’s a hearty, chewy Cowboy Cookies recipe—loaded with oats, chocolate, and nuts, just like the classic cowboy cookies:
🥣 Cowboy Cookies
🧈 Ingredients
- 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup pecans, chopped
- ½ cup shredded coconut (optional)
- ½ cup raisins (optional)
👩🍳 Instructions
- Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cream butter and sugars together until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs and vanilla, mixing until combined.
- Mix dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, salt) and gradually add to the wet mixture.
- Stir in oats, chocolate chips, pecans, coconut, and raisins.
- Scoop dough onto the baking sheet (about 2 tbsp per cookie), spacing 2 inches apart.
- Bake 12–15 minutes until golden brown around edges.
- Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
🌟 Tips
- For extra chewiness, slightly underbake and let cookies set on the tray.
- Toasting pecans adds a deeper nutty flavor.
- Can store in an airtight container for up to a week, or freeze for longer.
If you want, I can also give a cowboy cookies variation with oats, chocolate, and peanut butter for an extra rich version 😄.
Do you want that version?
