Description
These Cowboy Cookies are a chewy and hearty treat loaded with oats, chocolate chips, coconut, and pecans—perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups old-fashioned oats
- 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut
- 1 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the bowl and beat until fully combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Stir in the oats, chocolate chips, coconut, and pecans until evenly distributed.
- Scoop out about 2 tablespoons of cookie dough per cookie and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are set.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Make sure the butter is fully softened for easier mixing and better texture.
- Chilling the dough for 30 minutes can help prevent spreading if your kitchen is warm.
- Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
- These cookies freeze well—store in freezer-safe bags for up to 3 months.
