1 cup (90 grams) sweetened shredded coconut
1 1/2 cups (150 grams) chopped pecans, toasted
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 sticks (16 tablespoons; 226 grams) unsalted butter, at room temperature

1 3/4 teaspoons kosher salt
2 large eggs, at room temperature

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

COWBOY COOKIES



Cowboy Cookies image

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.

1 cup sifted all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 lb sweet butter
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
1 large egg
1 cup quick-cooking rolled oats (not instant) or 1 cup regular rolled oats (not instant)
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate morsel
1/2 cup walnuts or 1/2 cup pecans, broken into medium-size pieces

Steps:

  • Position two oven racks to divide the oven into thirds; preheat oven to 350°; line cookie sheets with foil.
  • Sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
  • In a big bowl of an electric mixer cream the butter.
  • Add in vanilla and both sugars; beat well.
  • Add in egg; beat well.
  • On low speed, gradually add the dry ingredients and beat, scraping the bowl with a rubber spatula, until incorporated.
  • Remove bowl from mixer; stir in oats and then chocolate morsels and nuts (dough will be rather stiff).
  • Use a well-rounded teaspoonful of the dough to make each cookie; place the mounds 2 inches apart on the foil.
  • Bake for about 18 minutes until the cookies are golden-colored and completely dry.
  • During baking reverse the sheets top to bottom and front to back to insure even browning.
  • Transfer cookies to racks to cool.

Tips:

  • Use softened butter for easy mixing and a smooth cookie dough.
  • Chill the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes before baking to prevent spreading and ensure a chewy texture.
  • Line the baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent the cookies from sticking.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set, but not overbake to maintain a soft and chewy texture.
  • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to complete cooling.
  • Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
