Cowboy Cookies1 C butter
1/2 C sugar
1 1/2 C brown sugar, packed
2 eggs
2 C flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
2 C oats
1 C coconut
2 C chocolate chips
1 C chopped Pecans
*Beat butter and sugars. Add eggs and vanilla and mix well. Add flour, baking soda and salt and mix well. Add remaining ingredients. I use a cookie scoop (love this thing!) and scoop cookies onto a cookie sheet sprayed with Pam. Bake at 350 for about 12-14 minutes and cool on wire rack. Makes about 4 1/2 dozen cookies that will last approximately 10 minutes.
Note: I ALWAYS double this.
Warning: if there are any cowboys around when you remove these from the oven, they will disappear before they are cool. I actually had to threaten my bunch last night who gave me a really hard time about taking pictures of cookies. According to them, it was considered cruel and unusual punishment to keep them from their cookies.
Side story: I can't remember what these were originally called, but I have been making them for about 17 years. When our son was 2, I was mixing up a batch and I put him down for a nap. He took 4 hour naps!
When he awoke, he came scampering into the kitchen, "Cookie Mommy?! Cookie?!"
While he slept, DH had brought 5 dayworkers by in order to pay them and they had devoured every single cookie. Poor kid. I told him that the cowboys had eaten them all and he replied,
"Cowboys? Cookies? All gone?"
So alas, they were re-christened and will forever be known as Cowboy Cookies. Here you go son, have all you want:

Those look and sound great! I love cookies! ;)
I have a recipe for cowboy cookies. The best part was that they take four cups of flour and four cups of oats. It makes a HUGE batch. Of course that many also take about four hours to bake LOL
Those look really good! I may have to try those out today...
Sara and Jennifer, you DEFINITELY need to try these cookies. They are soooo good! Everybody devours them within the day, just delicious. Mmmmm...
