Cowboy Cookies are hearty, chewy treats packed with oats, chocolate chips, coconut, and pecans—perfectly sweet, crunchy, and satisfying for cookie lovers of all ages.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup brown sugar packed
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ cups rolled oats
- 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1 ½ cups semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Cream butter and sugars:
- In a large bowl, beat butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla, and mix well.
Combine dry ingredients:
- In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Make the dough:
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir in oats, coconut, pecans, and chocolate chips until fully combined.
Scoop and bake:
- Drop dough by rounded tablespoons onto prepared baking sheets. Bake for 10–12 minutes or until edges are golden. Cool on the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
Notes
- Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- Freezing: Dough can be frozen in balls for up to 2 months. Bake from frozen by adding 1–2 minutes to the baking time.
- Customise it: Swap pecans with walnuts or add butterscotch chips for a flavour twist.
- Make it chewy: Slightly underbake for a soft, chewy centre.
