Cowboy Cookies

December 5, 2011 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 11 Comments

Hi,

This Sunday I spent 8 hours making cookies, I am so cookied out!  I would be happy if I never looked at a cookie again!  Just kidding, you know thats a lie!  I made 5 different kinds of cookies, I wanted to make more, but I just didn’t have the energy or time, more cookies will come later this month.  So this week I’ll give you the recipes for the cookies.   I haven’t done my food porn pictures yet, I’ll take them tomorrow, but I did manage to take pictures of one set of cookies.  These cookies were suggested by my friends on facebook.  They are Cowboy Cookies.  Have you ever heard of them?  I didn’t, till Saturday night.  There really good and stock full of goodies.  There a heavy cookie, but oh my they taste good.  I did sneak one in today!

These cookies have oats, chocolate, coconut, pecans and dried cherries.  So good!  There easy to make too!!  I’m happy to try a new cookie.  I got the recipe from Joy of Baking.


This weekend I went to Trader Joe’s and I bought some new seasonal items, I’ll update my Trader Joe’s page later this week.

Cowboy Cookies – Adapted from Joy of Baking

3/4 cup pecans, toasted and chopped

1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature

1/2 cup dark brown sugar

1/2 cup white granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

1 cups all purpose flour

1 Cup whole wheat pastry flour

1 1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats

1/4 cup sweetened flaked coconut

1/2 cup semi sweet chocolate chips

1/2 cup dried cherries

Directions:

To toast nuts Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C) and toast nuts for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned and fragrant. Let cool and then chop into pieces.

Place one oven rack in the top third of the oven, and one oven rack in the bottom third of the oven. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

In the bowl of your electric mixer (or with a hand mixer), beat the butter and sugars until creamy and smooth (about 2 – 3 minutes).

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla extract.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flours, baking soda, salt, and rolled oats. Add the flour mixture to the creamed mixture and beat just until incorporated.

Stir in the nuts, coconut,chocolate chips, and dried cherries.

Form dough into balls, about the size of a golf ball for each cookie. Place balls of dough on each baking sheet. With moistened hands, gently flatten each ball of dough into a thick cookie.

Bake the cookies for about 14 -16 minutes, rotating the baking sheets halfway through the baking time. The cookies are done when they are golden brown around the edges and just barely set in the center. They should still be soft. Remove from oven and let the cookies cool a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool.

Makes 48 cookies

Calories per cookie:  115,  Fat:  6.5, Cholesterol:  18,  Sodium:  36,  Potassium:  33,  Carbs:  13,  Fiber:  1.2,  Sugar:  6.4,  Protein:  1.7

Enjoy!

I do hope you try these cookies!  They are so good and all the flavors are just wonderful together.  I am so glad my Peeps on Facebook suggested them!

Well I am off, my back is killing me and I need to make a care package to send to my Mom!  Have a great week!

One more thing!  HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!  I love you and miss you, cookies coming your way!!!

QUESTION:  Did you make cookies this weekend?  If so what kind and how long did you spend doing them?

    Ugh. I made SO.MANY cookies this weekend. And still have two more types to go by the end of next week! I’m a bit cookie’d out. (And by that I mean my STOMACH is a bit cookie’d out.) These look awesome though! Stuffed with goodness.

    This is the best sounding cowboy cookie recipe I’ve seen! The one I tried had Rice Krispies as an ingredient, and they tasted stale after a couple days. AND your have dried cherries…YUM! Need an excuse to add these to my baking list!

      Hmm, rice krispies in it would be interesting, I bet a corn flake type of cereal would work, I’d just omit the oatmeal. The dried cherries make it, it gives it that chewy factor.

Happy Thursday! Don’t you just love spring and E Happy Thursday! Don’t you just love spring and Easter? I’m sure going to miss styling with bunnies, eggs and carrots. It seems Easter is early this year. I have no clue how I will decorate after Easter? I may just keep my decor up past the holiday?
🐇
I’m sharing with you my new centerpiece on my dining room table. It has a peach theme to match with my carrot cart. The beautiful white trays are from my friends at @feltcreativehome. I staggered the smaller tray onto the big tray by putting some candles under it. I think it looks pretty cool this way. You will be seeing these trays again as they are the perfect size for styling my decor. The trays come in a set of two. You can find them on Amazon under Felt Creative Home.
🐇
The tea towel is from my friend Alicia @theblessedpeach. The beautiful wooden bunny is from my friend Abby @ittybittycottage. The ceramic bunnies, candy and glass jars are from Target.
🐇
Do you have any plans for Easter?

I am sharing with you how I styled my little table. I received the cutest wooden eggs from @sugarnmilkco. I love the pastel colors. They are just so cute and go with my Easter decor beautifully.
🐰
Sugar n Milk Co is having a Spring sale. Be sure you check them out. They ship fast too. The link is in my bio.

Hope the sun is shining where you live!

I want to give my apologies to the folks in the Philadelphia area. I seemed to have brought the California rain with me when I was there Thursday-Saturday. 😂 Hopefully you got some sun after I left.

This is a view if my livingroom. I really like how I styled my console table. The bunny sign and egg tree are from my friends @12timbers. I’ll be sad when Easter is over.

Today I am sharing with you a spring vignette that I created. I just love tulips this time of year. Though, they seem to be out all year at Trader Joe’s, which is kind of strange. I can’t wait until they get peonies and lilacs. My two favorites.

The candles are from my friends @goldhillcandleco. They are hand poured, 100% soy and have a wooden wick. They smell so fresh and clean. These two candles are from the March subscription box. I highly recommend.

Happy first day of Spring! Though you wouldn’t k Happy first day of Spring! Though you wouldn’t know it in California. We are still getting rain and it’s in the mid 50’s. We should be in the 70’s by now. I wonder what the summer temps will be like this year?
🌺
Even though it may not feel like Spring,  there is no reason why we can’t start prepping for it. It’s going to be time soon to plant flowers, add a floral wreath to the front door and of course a welcome mat to invite everyone to your home. 
🌺
I wanted to share with you my new welcome mat that I got from @cocomatsnmore. They just had their Spring release and oh my gosh so many cute ones. I love there welcome mats. They are thick, bright colors and fast shipping. I absolutely love the flowers and the saying “Live Life in Full Bloom”. It’s so very true.
🌺
What are you most looking forward to this Spring?

Happy Monday! I did a little bit of Spring cleanin Happy Monday! I did a little bit of Spring cleaning this weekend. I wanted to give my kitchen counters the less is more look.
🫧
I did have a very hard time taking my sink tray off the counter. I’ve had the tray there for years, so I thought I would change it up. Don’t be surprised if the sink tray makes its way back. 😂 I may add some herbs to my window sill for some fresh green color.

My husband and I are not fancy when it comes to eating dinner. Since it’s just the two of us, we never use the dining room table, but always eat at the kitchen counter.
🥕
There is no reason why we can’t eat fancy at the kitchen counter. I am using my new placemats that I got from @vmathome. They are thick, water, stain resistant and can handle heat up to 350F degrees. I love the color and style of the placemats. They have a wide variety of styles and colors, along with matching table runners.
🥕
I styled my table with bright spring colors that I was inspired by carrots. I still have bunnies on the brain. lol I had fun with this place setting, it’s so nice to have dinner with a little style then having it on a plain plate and paper napkins.
🥕
Have a wonderful weekend!!
