Best Cowgirl Cookies Recipes

GIFT IN JAR COWGIRL COOKIES RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:

• Start with a 1 quart smooth Ball jar. I found these at Hobby Lobby craft store. Layer the ingredients in this order: Flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt Oats M&Ms Chocolate chips Brown sugar White sugar Chopped pecans Pack each level down really tightly. I mean it. Pack it in, or else it won't all fit. Also, I added the chopped pecans last, because if the ingredients were too much or not enough, then I could add more or less pecans to adjust. I'd rather sacrifice nuts than chocolate, you know. The ingredients should be flush to the top of the lid when you seal it up. DIRECTIONS ON TAG: Stir all the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Add 1 slightly beaten egg, 1/2 cup butter melted slightly in the microwave, and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Mix wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Use the back of a large spoon to work it all together. You may even need to use your hands to get everything incorporated. Then roll the cookie dough into 1 1/2 inch balls, place on a parchment covered baking sheet and bake for about 10 minutes in a preheated 350°F oven. I got about 26 to 28 cookies out of these.

COWGIRL COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease two cookie sheets.
• Cream the margarine together with the white sugar and brown sugar in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time until thoroughly blended. Mix in the vanilla and almond extracts.
• Stir the flour, baking soda, salt, and rolled oats together in a mixing bowl until well blended. Stir the flour mixture into the sugar mixture. Mix in the coconut, white chocolate, and macadamia nuts until evenly blended. Drop by tablespoonfuls 1 inch apart on prepared cookie sheets.
• Bake in preheated oven until centers are set and edges are golden brown, about 15 minutes. Cool 3 minutes on baking sheets before removing to cool on a rack.

COWGIRL COOKIES

Steps:

• 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.

COWGIRL COOKIES

Steps:

• 1. Form the dough into balls a little larger than a golf ball. Place balls on an ungreased cooking stone. Place two chocolate chips for eyes and a butterscotch chip for a nose.
• 2. Press down lightly with heel of the palm to flatten slightly. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.
• 3. Remove cookies from the stone to a cooling rake. Allow to cool for a few mintues so they hold together better before serving immediately or allow to cool thoroughly and package 2 cookies wrapped back to back for travel.
• 4. The dough can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and baked as need. Allow the dough to warm up for 30 minutes before attempting to form balls.
• 5. Optional: Coconut can be ommitted and dried fruit can be used such as raisin or chopped prunes. DO NOT use dried cranberries because it interferes with the butterscotch, cinnamon and nutmeg combo that gives this cookie its distinct flavor.
