Description
A cowboy cookie is a hybrid between a chocolate chip cookie and an oatmeal cookie. It tastes a little more complex than a classic chocolate chip cookie and slightly chewy. Add it to your baking list ASAP!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 C Butter (softened)
- 1 C Granulated Sugar
- 1 C firmly packed Light Brown Sugar
- 2 Large Eggs
- 1.5 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 2 C All-Purpose Flour
- 1 tsp Baking Soda
- ½ tsp Baking Powder
- ½ tsp Salt
- 1 ¾ C uncooked Regular Oats
- 1 12oz package Semisweet Chocolate Morsels (about 2 Cups)
- 1 Cup chopped Pecans
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Beat butter at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy. Gradually add in sugars, beating at medium speed until light and fluffy. Add eggs (1 at a time), beating well after each addition. Beat in Vanilla.
- Combine Flour, baking soda, baking powder & salt in large bowl, then stir in oats. Gradually add flower mixture to sugar mixture – beating at low speed until just combined. Stir in chocolate morsels and pecans.
- Drop onto parchment paper lined cookie sheet using a 2 oz ice-cream scoop (or using a ¼ cup) about 3 inches apart. Chill 20 minutes or until firm.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 16-18 minutes or until cookies are set (lightly brown around the edges), rotating the pan after about 12 minutes. Cool on pan for 2-3 minutes then transfer to a cooling rack.
Notes
- For smaller cookies, use a 1 ounce scoop, or drop by 2 TBS and decrease bake time to 12-14 minutes. (I prefer the texture of the larger cookies.)
- If you like salty sweet, sprinkle a little sea salt on top as soon as they come out of the oven.
