Skinny Texas Cowboy Cookies
Report
These low calorie cookies have NO sugar, NO white flour, and only 2 tablespoons of butter in the whole batch! What they do have are a ton of mix-ins. Oatmeal, coconut, bran flakes, pecans to name a few. They taste like a Texas Cowboy Cookie, but way better for you! (Which means I can eat half a batch...right?)

Instructions
- Get out a large bowl and a medium bowl.
- In the large bowl, melt the butter and coconut oil. Set aside to cool.
- In the medium bowl, add the flour, oats, baking powder, salt, and whisk together.
- Next add the coconut, pecans, bran flakes, and chopped chocolate to the dry ingredients.
- Add the vanilla and 1 egg to the wet ingredients. Whisk it in right away.
- Add the honey or agave and stir.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir together with a wooden spoon until it's incorporated. (Don't overdo it, stop when the flour streaks are gone.) The dough is quite sticky.
- Cover the dough and let chill in the fridge for 30 minutes, or if you're in a rush you could do 15 minutes in the freezer.
- Once the dough is chilled, preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
- Shape the dough into balls a little smaller than a golf ball. Use your hands to flatten them out a little bit. (see photos).
- Place them on a silpat or parchment lined baking sheet, about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 11-13 minutes, or until they are just getting golden on the edges.
- Immediately after coming out of the oven, press additional chocolate chips and peanut butter chips into the top of each cookie.
- Let the cookies set on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then remove to a wire rack to cool.
Notes
- *If you love honey flavor then by all means use it. The agave is a little more neutral. Either one works great!
