COWBOY COOKIES



Cowboy Cookies image

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.

Yield 3 to 3 1/2 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 tablespoon baking soda
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Tips:

  • For the best results, use unsweetened coconut flakes. Sweetened coconut flakes will make the bars too sweet.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • To easily remove the bars from the pan, line it with parchment paper before baking.
  • Let the bars cool completely before cutting them. This will help them to hold their shape.
  • Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Conclusion:

Cowboy Coconut Bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They're made with simple ingredients that you probably already have on hand, and they can be customized to your liking. Whether you like them plain or with a few extra toppings, these bars are sure to be a hit.
