Cowboy Cookies
My son wasn’t feeling well recently so we decided to make cookies together because surely they would make him feel better (they did). While we were preparing the ingredients for these cookies my son said that he thought we should also add white chocolate chips to the mix… I love that he is already adapting recipes to suit his 5-year-old tastes. These cowboy cookies turned out to be one of my very favorite cookies – EVER. I loved the combination of ingredients and how soft and chewy the cookies were. My son loved them and said they really made him feel better and my daughter was thrilled to come home from school to freshly baked cookies.
Cowboy Cookies:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 cup of butter, softened
- 1/4 cup + 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1/4 cup + 2 tbsp white sugar
- 1 egg
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 3/4 cup of oats
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup of sweetened shredded coconut
- 1/4 cup pecans pieces
How to Make Cowboy Cookies
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with a silpat mat.
Sift together the flour baking soda, salt, and baking powder until well mixed.
In a separate bowl, beat together the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until creamy. Add the egg and vanilla then continue to beat until well combined.
Slowly add the flour mixture to the sugar mixture until mixed well. Add the oats, chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, coconut, and pecans. Mix until just combined.
Spoon the dough onto the silpat lined baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Place into the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before moving them to a wire rack to continue cooling. Enjoy.

My 2 year old has begun helping me cook lunch every day and I can't believe how much he has already learned. He then makes dinner at his play kitchen while I make dinner in mine. It's so fun to hear him use all the cooking words he heard me using. Love the aprons! Adorable.
I need a good sized apron to keep my clothes clean while cooking in my kitchen, hoping you select me and that they have a large or extra large size for a good sized woman me, mary from [email protected]!!!!!!!!!!
These cookies are really looking very delicious and I want to make them immediately.

These cookies look amazing! I will definitely have to give them a try! I have made several of your cookie recipes and have LOVED each one!
What a fun giveaway! The aprons are so cute!
Yummy! My two year old has been cooking with me since she was just a few weeks old. Back then, she was in a sling or Bjorn, but now she has graduated to standing on the stool. The Easter Bunny brought her some of her very own cooking tools! She loves to wear her apron but also insists that anyone else in the kitchen also wear one. Having an extra apron would make her very happy!
I love your blog Pam and i make your recipes all the time! As a busy medical student, it is so hard to find time to make delicious healthy meals so when i found your site, i was very excited! Thanks for sharing all your great stories and recipes –some of them have gotten me through many rough days. I also LOVE those adorable aprons, so fashionable so please enter me 🙂

I wear an apron everyday to cook, but none are this pretty! Thanks for your generosity and cooking inspiration!

The cookies sound great and your children are lucky to have a mom who let's them participate in the kitchen. My earliest memories are watching my mother and grandmother cooking. As one of your male followers I have accepted the fact that cooking blogs are predominately female and the fashion theme is typically female. My grand-daughter gave me a bright red polka dot apron and if you check
I can't wait to make these cookies <3 My mom introduced me to your blog and I find my self referencing you for dinner atleast once a week! I would love to win one of these aprons to use while I bake these cookies 😉
I heart aprons!
i LOVE the cherry apron! and these cookies sounds super yummy 🙂

I was just thinking the other day, "You aren't really cooking until what you're preparing ends up all over your shirt". It's true. I'm a mess in the kitchen. Save my clothes and pick me to win an apron!
I can't wait to try this recipe…my friends and family will love it! I have had variations before but never with white chocolate chips.
Love those Jessie Steele aprons too!
White chocolate chips make everything better!! And those aprons are priceless! Maybe I could stop wearing my Christmas apron year round. 🙂
These look so yummy. I'll be making them this weekend with my boys.
These are beautiful aprons. Needed one for so long but haven't found one I love. Love these. 🙂 Love your site – the flavors of your recipes are always amazing!

White chocolate is one of my favorite chocolates. Your son has good taste in food. I am glad to hear he is feeling better. Nothing like making home made cookies, especially with white chocolate included, with the ones you love. I hope you have a happy mother's day!!

I love the look of your cowboy cookies. I have never made them before but reading your recipes has moved them up on my Baking List. Thanks.
I must be missing something, cuz I see no aprons, and I’m going to change the cowboy cookies for a diabetic which I am. As far as your other recipes I have not found them yet, but will try later.

I just discovered your blog. I’ve made another version of this cookie and love them.
I am definitely too late to enter the apron contest, but I would love to order a couple. Is that still possible?
