Classic Cowboy Cookies

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Classic Cowboy Cookies.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and give two baking sheets a light greasing to ensure your cookies slide off easily later.

2. Step 2

   In a mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, creating a fluffy base for your delicious treats.

3. Step 3

   Now, grab a large bowl and cream together the softened butter, white sugar, and brown sugar with an electric mixer until the mixture is light and airy—this is where the magic begins! Next, add the eggs one at a time, making sure to mix well after each addition, and then stir in the rich aroma of vanilla extract.

4. Step 4

   Gradually incorporate the flour mixture into your wet ingredients, mixing just until everything is combined—don’t overdo it! Now comes the fun part: gently fold in the rolled oats and semisweet chocolate chips, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the dough for that perfect bite.

5. Step 5

   Using a rounded teaspoon, drop dollops of cookie dough onto your prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each one to allow for spreading.

6. Step 6

   Pop the sheets into your preheated oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the cookies are set and boast a lovely golden edge.

7. Step 7

   Once they’re out of the oven, let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes—this helps them firm up a bit—before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

8. Step 8

   Enjoy the delightful aroma wafting through your kitchen as you anticipate the first bite of your homemade cookies!.
