TEXAS TUMBLEWEEDS

This sweet and easy dessert treat is courtesy of my dear SiL...they are easy to make, and taste delicious. Good recipe for the kids to help with, and great for parties and gift giving if you put them in mini cupcake papers. The candy coating/almond bark is usually sold in packages of flat rectangles, not chips, but either could be used - 1 package is all that's required for the recipe. Unfortunately, I don't know the exact size in ounces, so this is an estimate.

TEXAS COWBOY COOKIES



Texas Cowboy Cookies image

My mom clipped this recipe out of a local newspaper a few years ago. I have made them several times since then, especially at Christmas. They are usually the first to disappear from the cookie plate. The recipe has alot of mix-ins and will get hard to stir, I suggest you use a BIG bowl and sturdy wooden spoon. This makes a Texas-size batch!!

Time 40m

Yield 72 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 cups flour
1 tablespoon baking powder

1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups butter, at room temp
1 1/2 cups sugar
3 eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla
3 cups oatmeal
2 cups coconut
3 cups chocolate chips
2 cups chopped pecans

  • Add eggs one at a time and mix well.

  • Bake at 350 degrees for 17-20 minutes.
  • Remove from baking sheet and cool.
  • Makes approximately six dozen cookies or you can use a large scoop and make approximately three dozen jumbo cookies.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use high-quality ingredients. This includes using real butter, not margarine, and using fresh eggs.
  • Be sure to cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to create a chewy cookie.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies to hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies at the correct temperature and for the correct amount of time. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool on a wire rack before storing them. This will help to prevent them from becoming soggy.
