Cowboy cookies are bakery style cookies with added oats, chocolate chips, dried fruit, coconut flakes and nuts. Simple to make and delicious to eat, they are full of texture and flavor.
Browned butter is melted butter, that is cooked for a little longer to enhance the flavors. Check out my how to make browned butter post for detailed instructions.
Stick to about 3 cups of total add-ins. Chopped nuts, M&Ms, dried fruits and other types of chocolate chips all work great.
These are large bakery style cookies. Be sure to leave room on the baking sheet as they will spread out!
These cowboy cookies are perfect for Christmas with the cranberries and pistachios, every bite is extra delicious!
Tips!
- Storage: Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- Freezing Instructions: Freeze the cookies without the white chocolate drizzle for up to 3 months. When ready to serve, let the cookies thaw before adding the drizzle.
- Don’t over mix the cookie dough when you add the dry ingredients. Stop mixing once there is no dry flour, over mixing can lead to dense and tough cookies.
Super easy to make with basic baking ingredients, these cookies are a must bake this holiday season!
Can I use regular melted butter instead of browned butter?
Although you can use regular melted butter, browned butter is so good in these! It has a rich and nutty flavor and is totally worth the extra couple of minutes!Can I use quick oats instead of old-fashioned oats?
Old fashioned oats are best to use in this recipe as they have a nice chewy texture. You can use quick oats but they will be softer. Avoid steel cut oats which will be too tough to eat.
What size cookie scoop can I use?
Each cookie is made with 1/4 cup of batter, or 4 tablespoons.
