GIFT IN JAR COWGIRL COOKIES RECIPE - (4.3/5)



Gift in Jar Cowgirl Cookies Recipe - (4.3/5) image

Provided by Mrs_imUnLawson

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/3 cup all purpose flour, spooned into measuring cup and leveled
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup cooking oats
3/4 cup M&Ms
3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup white sugar
1/3 to 1/2 cup pecans, chopped

Steps:

  • Start with a 1 quart smooth Ball jar. I found these at Hobby Lobby craft store. Layer the ingredients in this order: Flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt Oats M&Ms Chocolate chips Brown sugar White sugar Chopped pecans Pack each level down really tightly. I mean it. Pack it in, or else it won't all fit. Also, I added the chopped pecans last, because if the ingredients were too much or not enough, then I could add more or less pecans to adjust. I'd rather sacrifice nuts than chocolate, you know. The ingredients should be flush to the top of the lid when you seal it up. DIRECTIONS ON TAG: Stir all the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Add 1 slightly beaten egg, 1/2 cup butter melted slightly in the microwave, and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Mix wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Use the back of a large spoon to work it all together. You may even need to use your hands to get everything incorporated. Then roll the cookie dough into 1 1/2 inch balls, place on a parchment covered baking sheet and bake for about 10 minutes in a preheated 350°F oven. I got about 26 to 28 cookies out of these.

These cookies are reminiscent of a white chunk macadamia nut cookie but better. Using slivered almonds instead of macadamia nuts is a more economical alternative. Follow baking directions. The cookies can be a little tricky to get right on the first pan. Unless the oven is preheated, they might not turn out. Note that these cookies don't bake well on airbake pans.

Cowgirl Cookies
2 XL Eggs (@ room temperature)
1C granulated sugar
1C dark brown sugar
2 sticks Butter
Blend together with a strong mixer
Add:
1T Vanilla (I like the Mexican vanilla and I have experimented with various fruit flavors and liquers)
In another large bowl mix:
2C+ Bread flour
2C Regular (not the quick) oatmeal
1t salt
1/2 t baking powder
1 t baking soda
Add:
6 oz. semi-sweet choclate chips. (when I want to make a real effort I buy bulk dark chocolate and chop it up)
6 oz. walnuts
6oz. Shredded coconut
Add the dry mixture to the liquid above and mix together. When I make this without a mixer, I've broken most of my spoons. Make sure your mixer doesn't overheat.
Scoop out with a tablespoon and form into balls the size of a large plum. I usually get 9 to 12 cookies to a regular cookie sheet. Bake at 375 for 12 - 15 minutes. I use an insulated shiny cookie sheet and still have to watch for burning.
It is better to make two batches than to double this one.

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 20

BLEND (IN A LARGE BOWL)
2 c oleo, softened
2 c brown sugar, firmly packed
2 c sugar
4 eggs
2 tsp mexican vanilla
SIFT TOGETHER AND THEN ADD TO SUGAR MIXTURE.
4 c unbleached white flour
2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
STIR (OR KNEAD IN IF THE DOUGH BECOME TOO STIFF)
2 c quick oats
1 c semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 c butterscotch chips
1 c coconut, flaked
1 c walnuts, english
1 c cornflakes, crushed

Steps:

  • 1. Form the dough into balls a little larger than a golf ball. Place balls on an ungreased cooking stone. Place two chocolate chips for eyes and a butterscotch chip for a nose.
  • 2. Press down lightly with heel of the palm to flatten slightly. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.
  • 3. Remove cookies from the stone to a cooling rake. Allow to cool for a few mintues so they hold together better before serving immediately or allow to cool thoroughly and package 2 cookies wrapped back to back for travel.
  • 4. The dough can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and baked as need. Allow the dough to warm up for 30 minutes before attempting to form balls.
  • 5. Optional: Coconut can be ommitted and dried fruit can be used such as raisin or chopped prunes. DO NOT use dried cranberries because it interferes with the butterscotch, cinnamon and nutmeg combo that gives this cookie its distinct flavor.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your cookies.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies at a high temperature for a short amount of time. This will give them a crispy exterior and a soft, chewy interior.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before enjoying them. This will allow the flavors to develop and the cookies to set properly.

Conclusion:

Cowgirl cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their combination of chocolate, oats, coconut, and nuts, they are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give cowgirl cookies a try.
