Coconut Oil Cowboy Cookies Recipe
Coconut Oil Cowboy Cookies combine rolled oats, flour, cinnamon, and baking soda with a batter enriched by coconut oil, eggs, and vanilla.

These cookies provide a hearty snack or dessert with tropical and classic cookie notes.
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats old-fashioned
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ tsp. salt
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar packed
- 1 egg large
- 1/2 cup coconut oil melted
- 2 tsp. vanilla extract
- ½ cup chocolate chips semi-sweet
- ½ cup dried cranberries
- ½ cup coconut loosely packed, sweetened shredded
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Add the oats, flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt to a large bowl. Stir to combine.
- In a medium bowl, add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and egg. Whisk until smooth. Add the melted (but not hot) coconut oil and vanilla. Whisk until well combined (about 1 minute).
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until all dry ingredients are moistened.
- Add the chocolate chips, dried cranberries, and shredded coconut. Stir until they are well incorporated in the cookie batter. This is a thick batter so this will take some effort.
- Drop large rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto a baking sheet. Leave about 2 inches around each cookie. Use your fingers to press the cookies together if they are crumbly. Bake for 8-9 minutes. Do not over bake. Cookies will look soft but will continue to crisp as they cool.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Then, transfer the cookies to a cooling rack to continue cooling.
