Lovely Cowboy Cookies Recipe Chewy, crunchy, and delicious! Packed with chocolate chips & nuts. A perfect homemade treat for any occasion!

Scale

1 cup butter, softened

1 cup packed brown sugar

½ cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon cinnamon

2 cups old-fashioned oats

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

¾ cup chopped pecans or walnuts

½ cup shredded coconut (optional)

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the oats, chocolate chips, nuts, and shredded coconut if using. The dough will be thick and slightly sticky.
Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers remain slightly soft.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Perfect Texture Tip: For soft and chewy cowboy cookies, slightly underbake them and let them finish setting on the baking sheet after removing them from the oven.
Flavor Boost: Enhance the taste by adding a pinch of cinnamon or a dash of sea salt to complement the chocolate and nuts.
