Instructions: How to Make Cowboy Cookies
Time to roll up those sleeves and show that dough who’s boss! Here’s how to bake up these scrumptious Cowboy Cookies:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Get that oven ready for action, folks!
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth. You should have a fluffy mixture that dreams are made of!
- Add in the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then stir in that liquid gold, the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the creamed ingredients until well combined.
- Now, it’s time for the fun! Stir in the oats, chocolate chips, nuts, and coconut, if you’re using it. Make sure everything is mixed up nicely!
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, ensuring they’re spaced nicely apart.
- Bake in your preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Keep an eye on them because we don’t want any cowboy cookie casualties!
- Let them cool on the baking sheet for a minute before transferring them to a wire rack. And there you have it — cowboy cookies ready for action!
Get ready to enjoy a taste of the frontier with every crunchy and chewy bite. Don’t forget to share with your fellow cowpokes, or hoard them all for yourself! Happy baking!
