Time 51m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup (227 grams) unsalted butter (melted until browned. )
1 and 1/2 cups (319 grams) light brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup (99 grams) granulated sugar
2 large eggs (at room temperature)
1 large egg yolk (at room temperature)
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 and 1/3 cups (270 grams) all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups (178 grams) old-fashioned oats
3/4 cup (60 grams) sweetened flaked coconut
1/2 cup (64 grams) pecans, roughly chopped (plus more for decorating )
12 ounces (340 grams) semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 teaspoon flaky sea salt (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 (F). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside.
  • In a large bowl using a whisk, beat together the browned butter and both sugars until well combined, about 2 minutes. Don't worry if they look a little separated here.
  • Whisk in the eggs and yolk, beating until well combined. About 45 seconds. Whisk in the vanilla.
  • In a separate large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, oats, coconut, pecans, and chocolate chips.
  • Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
  • Scoop 2-inch balls of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving 2-inches between each ball so they have room to spread.
  • Bake, one sheet at a time, in preheated oven for 12 minutes, or until cookies are golden and set at the edges and still slightly soft in the center.
  • Press extra chocolate chips and pecans on top of cookies when they come out of the oven (optional). Sprinkle with sea salt, if desired.
  • Cool cookies on baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

COWBOY COOKIES

This recipe came to The Times in 2000 during the Bush-Gore presidential campaign when Family Circle magazine ran cookie recipes from each of the candidates' wives and asked readers to vote. Laura Bush's cowboy cookies, a classic chocolate chip cookie that's been beefed up with oats, pecans, coconut and cinnamon, beat Tipper Gore's ginger snaps by a mile. Here is an adaptation of that winning recipe.

GIANT COWBOY COOKIES

Some claim cowboy cookies hail from Texas, a state many cowboys call home. Others say the treats were named for their ability to withstand long days in a saddlebag. Whatever its origin, the combination of oats, chocolate, pecans, and coconut is undeniably delicious.

Yield Makes about 16

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 sticks (3/4 cup) unsalted butter, room temperature
3/4 cup light-brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
6 ounces bittersweet (61 percent cacao) chocolate, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 cup pecan halves, toasted and coarsely chopped
1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees with rack in top third. Whisk together flour, oats, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. In a large bowl, beat butter with both sugars on medium speed until pale and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Reduce speed to low and gradually add flour mixture, beating until just incorporated. Beat in chocolate, pecans, and coconut until just combined. (Dough can be made up to this point, covered in plastic, and refrigerated up to 3 days.)
  • Line baking sheets with parchment. Using a 1/4-cup ice cream scoop, drop dough onto prepared sheets, about 3 inches apart. Flatten each with palm of hand. Bake, rotating sheets halfway through, until edges of cookies begin to turn golden, 16 to 18 minutes. Transfer sheets to wire racks; let cool 5 minutes. Transfer cookies to racks; let cool completely. Cookies can be stored in airtight containers at room temperature up to 3 days.

These are the best cookies! I always mix the chocolate chips (mini's, milk choc chunks, and semi sweet morsels). They are big, almost a meal in themselves!

Time 1h30m

Yield 36 Cookies

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 tablespoon baking soda
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups butter, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups brown sugar, firmly packed
3 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla
3 cups chocolate chips (a mixture of milk or semi)
3 cups old fashioned oats
2 cups sweetened flaked coconut
2 cups chopped pecans

Steps:

  • Heat over to 350°.
  • Mix flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt in bowl.
  • Beat butter on medium speed until smooth and creamy, gradually beat in sugars, beat to combine.
  • Add eggs one at a time, add vanilla.
  • Stir in flour mixture until just combined.
  • Add chocolate chips, oats, coconut and pecans.
  • For each cookie drop 1/4 cup dough onto ungreased baking sheet (I use a large ice cream scoop).
  • Bake at 350° for 17-19 minutes or until edges are lightly browned.
  • Cool cookies on rack.

Tips:

  • Use softened butter: This will help the cookies spread more evenly and give them a chewier texture.
  • Chill the dough: This will help the cookies hold their shape better and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Use a large cookie scoop: This will help you get evenly sized cookies.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set: Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before serving: This will help them set and develop their full flavor.

Conclusion:

Big Ol' Cowboy Cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With their chewy texture, gooey centers, and loaded with chocolate chips, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
