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.

TEXAS COWBOY COOKIES
My mom clipped this recipe out of a local newspaper a few years ago. I have made them several times since then, especially at Christmas. They are usually the first to disappear from the cookie plate. The recipe has alot of mix-ins and will get hard to stir, I suggest you use a BIG bowl and sturdy wooden spoon. This makes a Texas-size batch!!
