Cowboy Cookies – BEST COOKIES EVER

Ingredients:

1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened

1 cup granulated sugar

1 cup packed brown sugar

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

2 cups all-purpose flour

2 cups old-fashioned oats

2 cups chocolate chips

Chopped walnuts, to taste

Instructions:

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This is the temperature at which the cookies will bake.

Creaming the Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and packed brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.

Adding Eggs: Add the eggs to the creamed mixture one at a time, beating well after each addition. This helps incorporate air into the dough.

Vanilla Extract: Mix in the vanilla extract. This adds a delightful flavor to the cookies.

Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the baking soda, salt, baking powder, and all-purpose flour.

Combining Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until well combined.

Oats: Stir in the old-fashioned oats. This gives the cookies a hearty texture.

Chocolate Chips and Walnuts: Once the dough is well-blended, add the chocolate chips and chopped walnuts to taste. These ingredients add sweetness and crunch to the cookies.

Mixing: Mix the chocolate chips and walnuts into the dough evenly.

Forming Cookies: Using a large spoon, drop rounded portions of dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Make sure to leave enough space between each cookie to allow for spreading during baking.

Baking: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. The exact time may vary depending on your oven, so keep an eye on them.

Cooling: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Enjoy: Once cooled, your Cowboy Cookies are ready to be enjoyed! They should have a delightful combination of chewiness from the oats, sweetness from the chocolate chips, and a nutty crunch from the walnuts.

These cookies are sure to be a hit with friends and family. Happy baking!
