Time 34m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup whole white wheat flour
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp allspice
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats ((105g))
3/4 cup coconut sugar ((123g))
1/2 cup dried cranberries ((70g))
1/2 cup pecans (chopped (58g))
1/2 cup organic semi-sweet chocolate chips ((93g)*)
11 TB butter (softened**)
2 eggs
2 tsp pure vanilla extract (***)
1 jar Cowboy Cookie Mix (see recipe above)
quart-size mason jars (These are super expensive on Amazon. Check home stores and grocery stores for the best price. )

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, allspice, baking soda, and salt. Pour the mix into a quart-size mason jar (any quart-size, or slightly larger, wide mouth jar will work). I highly recommend using a funnel to pour the flour and remaining ingredients into the jar. Add the oats and sugar. Gently tap the bottom of the jar on a hard surface to compact the ingredients without compromising the individual layers. Add the cranberries and chopped pecans. Gently tap the bottom of the jar to compact the ingredients again. Finally, add the chocolate chips, tapping the jar if more room is needed. Place a lid on the jar and attach the gift tag instructions (download the printable gift tags, here).
  • Preheat the oven to 350F. In a large bowl, using a hand-mixer, beat the softened (to room temperature) butter. Mix in the eggs and vanilla extract. Pour the contents of the mason jar into the bowl, and mix everything together. Scoop the dough onto a baking sheet (I use an ice cream scooper). Bake the cookies for 12-14 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients for better creaming and mixing.
  • Measure your flour correctly to avoid dense cookies. Use the spoon and level method or a kitchen scale for accurate measurements.
  • Chill the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes before baking to prevent spreading and ensure a chewy texture.
  • Bake the cookies in a preheated oven to ensure even baking.
  • Don't overmix the cookie dough, as this can result in tough cookies.
  • Add the chocolate chips or nuts at the end of the mixing process to prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the cookies.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set, but still slightly soft.
  • Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before storing them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
