Cowboy Cookies have a fantastic chew from oatmeal, coconut, and nuts. Try my classic combination of buttery pecans and M&Ms or add your own favorite mix-ins. Even picky eaters will love these cookies!

Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup butter softened (1 1/2 sticks)
- 3/4 cups brown sugar
- 3/4 cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup M&M candies (see note 1)
- 1 cup Chopped Pecans (see note 2)
- 1 cup shredded coconut
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats. In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a stand mixer fit with the paddle attachment on medium speed, or with an electric mixer, beat butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar together until mixture is smooth (not gritty when you rub between your thumb and finger).
- Add eggs and vanilla and beat on low speed until blended, and scrape down the sides of the bowl as necessary. Add the flour mixture in batches (about 1 cup at a time) and mix on low speed until just blended. Add oats, chocolate chips, pecans, and coconut and beat until just combined.
- Working with 1 heaping tablespoon of dough at a time, roll dough into 1 1/2-inch balls and lay on prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart. (I use the OXO medium cookie scoop, a size 40 portioner, and do 12 scoops of dough per baking sheet). If desired, press extra chocolate chips into the outside of each dough ball.
- Bake cookies until they start to brown around the edges, about 10 to 15 minutes. Cool 5 minutes on baking sheet before transferring to a rack to cool completely.
Notes
- M&Ms: Or try chocolate chips (any flavor), butterscotch chips, raisins, or dried cranberries.
- Pecans: I love the buttery, nutty flavor of pecans, but you can substitute walnuts, cashews, Macadamia nuts, or hazelnuts in your cookies.
- Yield: This recipe is scaled down to 60 cookies and is adapted from Laura Bush's original recipe to follow my own personal baking methods and recipe style guide. Her original recipe made 120 cookies!
- Storage: Store extra cookies covered at room temperature for 4 to 5 days.
