COWBOY COOKIES

This recipe came to The Times in 2000 during the Bush-Gore presidential campaign when Family Circle magazine ran cookie recipes from each of the candidates' wives and asked readers to vote. Laura Bush's cowboy cookies, a classic chocolate chip cookie that's been beefed up with oats, pecans, coconut and cinnamon, beat Tipper Gore's ginger snaps by a mile. Here is an adaptation of that winning recipe.

Time 58m

Yield 36 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup sifted all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 lb sweet butter
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
1 large egg
1 cup quick-cooking rolled oats (not instant) or 1 cup regular rolled oats (not instant)
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate morsel
1/2 cup walnuts or 1/2 cup pecans, broken into medium-size pieces

Steps:

  • Position two oven racks to divide the oven into thirds; preheat oven to 350°; line cookie sheets with foil.
  • Sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
  • In a big bowl of an electric mixer cream the butter.
  • Add in vanilla and both sugars; beat well.
  • Add in egg; beat well.
  • On low speed, gradually add the dry ingredients and beat, scraping the bowl with a rubber spatula, until incorporated.
  • Remove bowl from mixer; stir in oats and then chocolate morsels and nuts (dough will be rather stiff).
  • Use a well-rounded teaspoonful of the dough to make each cookie; place the mounds 2 inches apart on the foil.
  • Bake for about 18 minutes until the cookies are golden-colored and completely dry.
  • During baking reverse the sheets top to bottom and front to back to insure even browning.
  • Transfer cookies to racks to cool.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the taste of your cookies.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help the cookies to be chewy.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies to hold their shape.
  • Bake the cookies at a high temperature for a short amount of time. This will help the cookies to get crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside.
  • Let the cookies cool on a wire rack before serving. This will help to prevent them from becoming soggy.

Conclusion:

Cowboy cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are chewy, crispy, and packed with flavor. With a few simple tips, you can make the perfect batch of cowboy cookies every time.
