How To Make cowboy cookies

  • 1
    Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  • 2
    Whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt; set aside.
  • 3
    Using a mixer, cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time; mix just until combined. Mix in the vanilla and add the dry ingredients in 3 parts. Continue mixing until combined, scraping down the bowl and beaters as you go.
  • 4
    Stir in the chocolate chips, rolled oats, chopped pecans, and shredded coconut (optional). Drop by rounded 1 1/2 tablespoons onto parchment-covered baking sheets. Press down just a tad with the palm of your hand. Bake until lightly browned; 9-11 minutes. Let the cookies cool for 5 minutes before moving them to cookie-cooling racks.
