If you’re the type of person who believes cookies should be a little over the top, then these Cowgirl Cookies are calling your name. They’re everything we love about a classic, homemade cookie, but with a generous helping of goodies mixed in. With a combo of oats, almonds, coconut, and white chocolate chips, every bite is full of sweetness, crunchiness, and a little chewiness. What more could you ask for? They’re the kind of treat that you bring to a potluck and watch disappear before you’ve even set down the plate. Saddle up, and let me walk you through how they’re made…
If you’re familiar with the classic cowboy cookies, then this recipe will look pretty familiar to you. We’ve got all the basic ingredients like butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs for the base, then old fashioned oats and coconut flakes are mixed in for a little texture. Now, we deviate from the OG recipe and swap in sliced almonds and white chocolate chips.
Once the dough is all mixed together, you’ll want to pop it in the fridge to firm up for about an hour. When you’re ready to bake the cookies, preheat your oven and portion the dough onto your cookie sheet. If you’ve properly chilled the dough the cookies shouldn’t spread too much, but you’ll want to leave at least 2 inches between each dough portion.
Get ready for your house to smell heavenly as these bake! Thankfully, they’re done in under 15 minutes so you won’t have to wait too long. Pour yourself a glass of milk and indulge in a cookie or two straight from the baking sheet. We won’t judge! Whether you’re whipping these up for a bake sale, a weekend treat, or just because you deserve something sweet, these Cowgirl Cookies deliver every time.
