Texas Cowboy Cookies

Course Cookies, Desserts
Servings 18 large cookies

Ingredients

  • 1 cups butter (2 sticks) softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 cups + 1 tbs all-purpose flour spooned and leveled
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 cup Corn Flakes
  • 1 cup pecans roughly chopped (and toasted)
  • 1/2 cup coconut flakes
  • 1 cup peanut butter chips (6 oz)
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips (6 oz)

Instructions

  • If you want to toast your pecans (you do! you do!) chop them up and throw them in a dry skillet over medium heat. Toast for 3-5 minutes, until fragrant. Don't let them burn! Remove from heat and let cool while you make the dough.
  • In a large bowl or stand mixer, beat the butter until it is light and fluffy.
  • Add both sugars and beat well, scraping sides and bottom.
  • Add eggs and vanilla, beat well.
  • Add the flour but don't mix it in. Add the salt, baking powder, and baking soda to the flour and use a small spoon to blend it with the flour a bit. Then mix in the flour, but stop before it's fully incorporated.
  • Add the oats, corn flakes, pecans, and coconut to the bowl. Mix in gently.
  • Add the peanut butter chips and chocolate chips and mix until everything is incorporated. Don't over mix, it will make your dough tough.
  • Chill the dough in the fridge for at least an hour, or up to 24 hours.*
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a couple baking sheets with a silpat or parchment paper.
  • Use a 1/4 cup measuring cup (THINK TEXAS, YA'LL)* to scoop these onto the pan. Leave at least a couple inches in between each ball of dough.
  • Bake at 350 for 12-14 minutes, until the cookies are golden on the edges and they are not too shiny in the middle. (A little shine is okay.)
  • Let cool as long as you can before stuffing your face! These are great dipped in milk.
