Cowboy Cookies!

Hey everyone! 

Today I wanted to tell you about one of my FAVORITE types of cookies! My mom has been making these for years and they never fail to cheer me up. She got the recipe from someone I'm sure most of you have heard of- Laura Bush! I don't care if you are republican or democrat- this recipe is fabulous. I'm pretty sure everyone will love these cookies! Here's the recipe! 

Cowboy Cookies

 3 cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder
1 tablespoon baking soda
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 cups butter (at room temperature)
1-1/2 cups granulated sugar
1-1/2 cups packed light-brown sugar
3 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
3 cups semisweet chocolate chips
3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
2 cups sweetened flake coconut
2 cups chopped pecans

Preheat oven to 350 F. Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt in bowl. In 8-quart bowl, beat butter on medium speed until smooth and creamy, 1 minute. Gradually beat in sugars; beat to combine, 2 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating after each. Beat in vanilla extract. Stir in flour mixture until just combined. Add chocolate chips, oats, coconut and pecans. For each cookie, drop 1/4 cup dough onto ungreased baking sheets, spacing 3 inches apart. Bake for 17 to 19 minutes, until edges are lightly browned; rotate sheets halfway through. Remove cookies from rack to cool. Makes about 3 dozen cookies.
 

Some of you are probably reading this thinking 1/4 cup of dough per cookie? That is going to be a BIG cookie. And they are! That's one of the reasons why they are so great! They're huge- and delicious! After trying this recipe, I'm 99% sure you will be making these again and again. Thank you Laura Bush! You make a superb cookie. 

Comment what you think about this recipe and if there are any recipes you want me to try! I hope you love these as much as I do! 

Love you all!
