Time 51m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup (227 grams) unsalted butter (melted until browned. )
1 and 1/2 cups (319 grams) light brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup (99 grams) granulated sugar
2 large eggs (at room temperature)
1 large egg yolk (at room temperature)
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 and 1/3 cups (270 grams) all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups (178 grams) old-fashioned oats
3/4 cup (60 grams) sweetened flaked coconut
1/2 cup (64 grams) pecans, roughly chopped (plus more for decorating )
12 ounces (340 grams) semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 teaspoon flaky sea salt (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 (F). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside.
  • In a large bowl using a whisk, beat together the browned butter and both sugars until well combined, about 2 minutes. Don't worry if they look a little separated here.
  • Whisk in the eggs and yolk, beating until well combined. About 45 seconds. Whisk in the vanilla.
  • In a separate large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, oats, coconut, pecans, and chocolate chips.
  • Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
  • Scoop 2-inch balls of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving 2-inches between each ball so they have room to spread.
  • Bake, one sheet at a time, in preheated oven for 12 minutes, or until cookies are golden and set at the edges and still slightly soft in the center.
  • Press extra chocolate chips and pecans on top of cookies when they come out of the oven (optional). Sprinkle with sea salt, if desired.
  • Cool cookies on baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

CRISP OR CHEWY COWBOY COOKIES

Received this recipe from an online game I play on Pogo! Tried it and altered it a bit, at first the instructions called for a long cooking time which achieved tasty but crispy done cookies. Then I continued to alter the time for the following batches. Basically watch for them to brown and the browner they get the crispier they are.

Time 30m

Yield 2 dozen, 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups unbleached wheat flour
1 1/2 cups of quaker quick oats
1/2 teaspoon ground sea salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup room tempature butter
3/4 cup brown sugar
2/3 cup granulated sugar
3 tablespoons clover honey or 3 tablespoons of wild-flower honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1 cup ghiradelli semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup ground pecans

Steps:

  • Preheat oven at 350 degrees fahrenheit. Prepare light aluminum cookie sheets with parchment paper.
  • Lightly blend the first five (5) dry ingredients in a medium bowl, set aside.
  • Cream together the next six (6) ingredients in a medium bowl, then add to a large mixing bowl.
  • Gently stir the blended dry ingredients into the creamed mixture.
  • Fold in chocolate chips and crushed pecans.
  • You will be using your hands or an icecream scooper to make a 2-3 tablespoon size ball of dough, then flatten it out with the bottom of a glass or palm of your hand. These should be spaced away from the other cookies by at least 1-2". Should be able to fit 6 cookies on a fully covered cookie sheet, I was able to get 5 or 6 baked at a time.
  • Bake for about 15 minutes (for chewier) or up to 18 minutes (for crispier cookies.) These cool completely in about 10 minutes on a cookie rack.

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 for a short amount of time. This will give the cookies a crispy exterior and a chewy interior.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together.

Conclusion:

Cowboy cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their crispy exterior and chewy interior, they are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give cowboy cookies a try!
