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.

Tips:

  • Use good quality ingredients, especially vanilla extract, chocolate chips, oats, and walnuts. Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the final flavor of your cookies.
  • Don't over-mix the cookie dough. Over-mixing will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set. Don't over-bake the cookies, or they will be dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool on a wire rack before enjoying them. This will help them to set and firm up.

Conclusion:

Wyoming Cowboy Cookies are a delicious, easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With their chewy texture, sweet flavor, and satisfying crunch, these cookies are sure to be a hit with family and friends. So next time you're looking for a tasty snack or dessert, give Wyoming Cowboy Cookies a try. You won't be disappointed!
