This is a family favorite. I found this recipe originally entitled "Laura Bush's Colorado Cowboy Cookies" in a newspaper publication about 15 years ago. Over the years It has changed a bit here and there but this is the original recipe so you can add or subtract nuts, different types of candy chips, raisins, craisins etc. ...

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 c flour
1 Tbsp baking powder
1 Tbsp baking soda
1 Tbsp cinnamon
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 c (3 cubes) real butter - room temp
1 1/2 c sugar
1 1/2 c light brown sugar
3 eggs
1 Tbsp vanilla
3 c chocolate chips
3 c old fashioned oats
2 c unsweetened flaked coconut (i omit this item)
2 c chopped pecans

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oven to 350F
  • 2. Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt in bowl.
  • 3. Beat butter with an electric mixer at medium speed until smooth and creamy. Gradually beat in sugars and combine thoroughly. ( I use my kitchen aid mixer).
  • 4. Add eggs one at a time, beating after each. Beat in vanilla.
  • 5. Stir in flour mixture until just combined. Stir in chocolate chips, oats, and pecans. (If you want to add the coconut, add it now.)
  • 6. For each cookie drop an ice cream scoop of dough and slightly flatten it, spacing it about 3" apart.
  • 7. Bake for 15 to 17 minutes till edges are lightly browned. Cool on pan for one minute then remove from pan to cool on racks or I use a few sheets of newspaper to lay them on until cool.
  • 8. When cool store in plastic zip locks or I sometimes put them in shoe boxes lined with wax paper and put them in the freezer.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate chips. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your cookies.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies at a high temperature. This will help them get crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them. This will help them keep their shape and flavor.

Conclusion:

Colorado Cowboy Cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They're perfect for any occasion, and they're sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give these cookies a try. You won't be disappointed!
