Categories     dessert

Time 35m

Yield 2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup shortening (recommended: Crisco)
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
2 cups rolled oats
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1 (6-ounce) package chocolate chips
1/2 cup shredded coconut

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a large bowl, with an electric mixer, cream the shortening, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Add eggs and the vanilla and beat until well blended. Stir in the flour, baking soda, salt, and baking powder. Add oats, nuts, chocolate chips and coconut, mix until combined. Spoon cookie mixture onto greased foil lined cookie sheet. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool.

Tips:

  • To ensure the donuts are cooked evenly, make sure the oil temperature is between 350°F (175°C) and 375°F (190°C).
  • Use a candy thermometer to accurately measure the oil temperature.
  • Drop the donut batter into the hot oil carefully to avoid splattering.
  • Fry the donuts in batches to prevent overcrowding and ensure they cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot when frying the donuts, as this will cause the oil temperature to drop and the donuts to absorb more oil.
  • To achieve a golden brown color, fry the donuts for 2-3 minutes per side or until they are cooked through.
  • Use a slotted spoon to remove the donuts from the hot oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  • Allow the donuts to cool slightly before coating them in cinnamon sugar or your desired topping.
  • For a fun twist, try drizzling the donuts with chocolate or caramel sauce before serving.
  • Cowboy cookies and donuts can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
