Cowboy Cookies

These cookies are amazing! They may not be the prettiest cookie, but they taste incredible!  If you like a little bit of everything in your cookie, this is the ultimate “throw it all in” recipe! Coconut, nuts, chocolate chips, cereal....  it’s all in there!

1egg
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup sugar
2 tsp. vanilla
1 cup flour
1 cup oats
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 cup chocolate chips, or M&M’s, Reese’s pieces, whatever you like!
3/4 cup cornflakes, or substitute your favorite cereal
3/4 cup coconut
1/2 cup nuts, pecans, walnuts, your choice

Cream egg, butter and sugars until well mixed. Stir in remaining ingredients until combined. I’ve used high fiber cereals like grape nuts, and crispy cereals like rice crispies. These taste amazing using Reese’s Pieces!! Scoop them out in 1/4 cup size scoops. You will need to chill for at least two hours before baking. I usually scoop and shape them, then store them in the freezer. That way I can take them out as I want them. Bake at 350 degrees for 11 minutes. Don’t overbake. They are best when they are a little crispy outside, but chewy on the inside. These have become my new favorite cookie!
