Get the Recipe: Cowboy Cookies
Cowboy cookies are thick, chewy cookies loaded with chocolate chips, oats, coconut, and pecans. They’re packed with flavor and the perfect mix of soft and crunchy textures.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups (187 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons (6 g) baking powder
- 1 ½ teaspoons (6 g) baking soda
- 1 ½ teaspoons (6 g) ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon (2 g) salt
- ¾ cup (170 g) unsalted butter, room temperature
- ¾ cup (150 g) granulated sugar
- ¾ cup (150 g) packed light-brown sugar
- 1 (1) large egg, room temperature
- 1 (1) large egg yolk, room temperature
- 2 teaspoons (10 ml) vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups (255 g) semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 ½ cups (127 g) old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup (55 g) unsweetened flaked coconut
- 1 cup (113 g) chopped pecans
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350℉. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer (or using a hand mixer), beat butter, sugar and brown sugar on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the egg, egg yolk and vanilla. Mix until combined. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix just until combined. Stir in the chocolate chips, oats, coconut and pecans.
- Scoop 2 generous tablespoons of dough. Roll into a ball and place on prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough, placing each ball of dough 2 inches apart on the sheet.
- Bake at 350℉ for 12 to 14 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Cool on the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Pecans can be swapped for an equal amount of any type of nut.
M&M candies can be added in with the chocolate chips. I suggest about 1 cup.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Freeze dough for up to 3 months. Form into a log, wrap in plastic wrap and store in the freezer. Defrost in the refrigerator before bringing to room temperature and baking.
