COLORADO COWBOY COOKIES
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. ...

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.
