Ingredients

Cowgirl Cookies

2 XL Eggs (@ room temperature)

1C granulated sugar

1C dark brown sugar

2 sticks Butter

Blend together with a strong mixer

Add:

1T Vanilla (I like the Mexican vanilla and I have experimented with various fruit flavors and liquers)

In another large bowl mix:

2C+ Bread flour

2C Regular (not the quick) oatmeal

1t salt

1/2 t baking powder

1 t baking soda

Add:

6 oz. semi-sweet choclate chips. (when I want to make a real effort I buy bulk dark chocolate and chop it up)

6 oz. walnuts

6oz. Shredded coconut

Add the dry mixture to the liquid above and mix together. When I make this without a mixer, I’ve broken most of my spoons. Make sure your mixer doesn’t overheat.

Scoop out with a tablespoon and form into balls the size of a large plum. I usually get 9 to 12 cookies to a regular cookie sheet. Bake at 375 for 12 - 15 minutes. I use an insulated shiny cookie sheet and still have to watch for burning.

It is better to make two batches than to double this one.
