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.

SIMPLE LITTLE COOKIES



Simple Little Cookies image

This is adapted from one of my Great Grandmother's recipes, taken from a notebook of my Grandmothers. It was not the first recipe I tried from it as I thought they looked plain and dull. How wrong! These are tasty and easy to make; ideal for our two-person household since the recipe makes modest quantities.

GRANDMA'S CLASSIC NO-BAKE COOKIES



Grandma's Classic No-Bake Cookies image

This is the first cookie I ever learned to make as a child. They're very delicious with the peanut butter and oatmeal. You can eat them fresh out of the pan in a bowl with a spoon, which is delicious with a glass of milk besides. This no-bake cookie recipe was my grandmother's, and my mother taught it to her children, and I will to mine. I hope you have as much fun making this either by yourself or with your children, as I did with my mom. Separate cookies with waxed paper if putting in a tin or baggie to prevent sticking.

LITTLE COWPOKE COOKIES

These are a different take on Cowboy Cookies so I thought they deserved their own name. These cookies are chewy while crunchy at the same time. Everyone who has tried this cookie and traditional Cowboy Cookies prefer these.

Time 27m

Yield 2-3 Dozen, 72 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup brown sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup cabot salted butter
2 eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (Not imitation)
1 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups quaker steel cut oats
1 1/2 cups sweetened flaked coconut
3/4 cup chopped walnuts

Steps:

  • I TRY USING ORGANIC WHENEVER POSSIBLE. I FEEL THIS CHANGES THE FLAVOR AT BIT.
  • Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In very large bowl add brown sugar and granulated (white) sugar.
  • Cut butter in slices to make it easier to mix with dry ingredients. Then add slices of butter to brown and white sugar. Do not melt butter.
  • Using a whisk whisk the 2 eggs until well mixed then add to the sugars and the butter slices.
  • Add the real vanilla (Not imitation) to the large bowl.
  • Add flour, baking soda, salt and oats. No need to sift.
  • Add coconut.
  • While chopped walnuts are still in the unopened bag smash them with your fist or heel of your hand so that there are very small pieces then add to the large bowl.
  • Using a hand mixer mix until your mixer starts to get bogged down or can't turn in the dough. Then use a fork to mix ingredients well making sure all ingredients are mixed thoroughly.
  • Using your hands make small 1 in balls rolling tightly in your hand.
  • Place up to 15 dough balls on light colored (as opposed to the darker cookie sheets) and bake for 12 minutes give or take a minute or two due to not all ovens being exactly a like.
  • Cool cookies on parchment paper and NOT on cooling racks.
  • Store cookies in large plastic container to keep fresh for up to a week.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your cookies.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies at the right temperature: The baking temperature will vary depending on the recipe, so be sure to follow the directions carefully. If the cookies are baked at too high a temperature, they will brown too quickly and may burn. If they are baked at too low a temperature, they will not cook through.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before frosting: Frosting warm cookies will cause the frosting to melt and become runny.

Conclusion:

Little Cowpoke Cookies are a fun and easy treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. The dough is made with simple ingredients that are probably already in your kitchen, and the cookies can be decorated with your favorite toppings. Whether you like them plain, frosted, or dipped in chocolate, Little Cowpoke Cookies are sure to satisfy your sweet tooth.
