Cowboy Cookies

Ingredients:

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup brown sugar, packed
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups old-fashioned oats
• 1 cup shredded coconut
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts

Directions:

1. Preheat Oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
2. Cream Butter and Sugars:
   • In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add Eggs and Vanilla:
   • Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then add the vanilla extract. Mix well until combined.
4. Combine Dry Ingredients:
   • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
5. Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients:
   • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
   • Fold in the oats, shredded coconut, chocolate chips, and chopped nuts until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
6. Scoop Dough onto Baking Sheets:
   • Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie.
7. Bake:
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may appear slightly underdone, but they will continue to set as they cool.
8. Cool and Serve:
   • Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Yield:

This recipe makes approximately 3-4 dozen cookies, depending on the size.
