Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 (F). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside.
- In a large bowl using a whisk, beat together the browned butter and both sugars until well combined, about 2 minutes. Don't worry if they look a little separated here.
- Whisk in the eggs and yolk, beating until well combined. About 45 seconds. Whisk in the vanilla.
- In a separate large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, oats, coconut, pecans, and chocolate chips.
- Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
- Scoop 2-inch balls of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving 2-inches between each ball so they have room to spread.
- Bake, one sheet at a time, in preheated oven for 12 minutes, or until cookies are golden and set at the edges and still slightly soft in the center.
- Press extra chocolate chips and pecans on top of cookies when they come out of the oven (optional). Sprinkle with sea salt, if desired.
- Cool cookies on baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
COWGIRL COOKIES
These cookies are reminiscent of a white chunk macadamia nut cookie but better. Using slivered almonds instead of macadamia nuts is a more economical alternative. Follow baking directions. The cookies can be a little tricky to get right on the first pan. Unless the oven is preheated, they might not turn out. Note that these cookies don't bake well on airbake pans.

My favorite cookie is found at our local Flying Star restaurant. It's packed full of dried fruits and runs about $2 per cookie. I thought I'd try my hand at a healthy (and less expensive) version.

HEALTHY COWBOY COOKIES
I fell in love with a recipe for Cowboy Cookies that I found on this site, and figured that a couple of cookies with a glass of milk would make a pretty good breakfast except for the high amounts of fat and sugar. In an effort to reduce the "bad" calories and increase the nutrition, I replaced some of the butter with an equal amount of beans, (I know it sounds weird, but you really cannot taste them), I reduced the sugar some, I switched to whole wheat flour, and increased the nuts so that 2 cookies would have half of a daily serving of nuts. If you want more of a dessert cookie increase both sugars by 1/4 cup. Note: This recipe is still a work-in-progress. It tastes fine, but there is too much leavening in it for my tastes. As soon as I figure out what the correct amount is, I will update the recipe.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325.
- Let the dates soak in the hot water until softened, about ten minutes.
- Meanwhile, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a bowl.
- In a separate bowl, beat the beans until mashed.
- Blend or food process the dates until a thick paste is formed. An immersion blender is helpful for this step.
- Add the melted butter, date paste, white sugar, eggs, and vanilla to the beans one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Gradually stir in the flour mixture until just combined.
- Stir in the chocolate chips, oats, coconut and pecans.
- Drop cookies by spoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheet and flatten some because they will not spread out naturally, and bake for 9-10 minutes. Even if the cookies do not look quite done, take them out and let them cool for 10 minutes on the baking sheet, during which time they should finish cooking. (I am not talking about really undone cookies, just ones that look like they need a minute or two more to bake).
- Tip: I can never eat an entire batch of cookies before they go bad, so I bake up what I want right away, form the rest of the dough into cookie-sized balls or discs, and freeze them in a container between layers of waxed paper. You only have to add a minute or two more to the baking time for frozen cookie dough.

COWBOY COOKIES
This recipe came to The Times in 2000 during the Bush-Gore presidential campaign when Family Circle magazine ran cookie recipes from each of the candidates' wives and asked readers to vote. Laura Bush's cowboy cookies, a classic chocolate chip cookie that's been beefed up with oats, pecans, coconut and cinnamon, beat Tipper Gore's ginger snaps by a mile. Here is an adaptation of that winning recipe.
