How delighted I was to see Cowboy cookies recipe that I've been making since the late 70's from a Pat Boone recipe I found in the newspaper. I also added peanut butter and maybe the ingredients are not exactly the same, but it was my favorite cookie recipe. I still make it at age 76. thank you!
Thank you for the recipe. Within the next few hours I hope my home will be filled with the aroma of baking cowboy cookies (made with what I have on hand, i.e., goji berries and hazelnuts) and also a playlist's worth of old-time cowboy songs by the Bunkhouse Orchestra Deseret String Band, beginning with "A Cowboy's Life."
*Not to be confused with Cow Pies.
These look fantastic, but I am wondering if I can use less sugar and if so what would be the least amount of sugar I could use while still having the recipe turn out? I am trying very hard to reduce my overall sugar intake. Thank you.
Hi, Shelley. You could use 1/4 less brown sugar and 1/3 less white sugar. The cookies will be different, but still good.
You can substitute Monk sugar for regular sugar. Monk sugar has no cal., no glycemic index rating and tastes good.
These cookies always make me one happy cowboy - they are my hands down favorite! In addition to adding coconut, I also switch half of the chocolate chips to butterscotch. Can't beat the combination, although someday I may try half peanut butter chips just for fun. Oh, I also prefer pecans to walnuts.
I think someone mentioned the recipes printing without the picture. I always like a photo with my recipes & since not all print that way, I always copy recipes from any site and make a document out of them. I center the title of the recipe at the top of the page with the URL where I got the recipe immediately below it and the over to the far left if there was a photo I save to "my pictures" & then I insert it on the upper left hand corner & immediately below the photo I print out the oven temp unless like in the recipe it is done after chilling the dough & going in a line across the page I list the bake time and the yield of cookies.
Immediately below that on the far left I list the ingredients & below the ingredients the directions. Below that if available I list the nutrition information & below that my notes of any variations I've made if I made any, then I hit print and I have everything just like I want it.
This is a great recipe! I'm curious if we are allowed to submit recipes, have a blessed rest of the year everyone!
I made them according to the recipe for the first batch, the second batch was made with semi-sweet chocolate chips & raisins, the third with semi-chocolate chips & packaged chopped dates in place of the raisins, & the last batch with milk chocolate chips and raisins
We made these with raisins instead of chocolate chips
Re printing recipe: Just do highlight, copy, paste to your Microsoft Word, edit and print.
Re recipe: Almost like the recipe I got from my mom at least 60 yrs ago - she baked many dozens of "Oatmeal Chocolate Chip" cookies as I was growing up. I don't know how many dozen I've baked over the years, but my original recipe makes about 7 dozen at a time, and I always double the recipe!!! Very good for kids and grandkids.
