The best part about Cowboy Cookies is that they are incredibly versatile. You can add in any mix-ins you like to make them your own. Some of my favorites include chocolate chips, pecans, and M&Ms. They are also perfect for any occasion, whether it’s a family gathering, a potluck, or just a lazy Sunday afternoon.
One of my fondest memories of Cowboy Cookies is from a family camping trip. We were all huddled around the campfire, roasting marshmallows and making s’mores when my cousin pulled out a bag of Cowboy Cookies. They were a hit among everyone and we all enjoyed them while sharing stories and laughing.
Whenever I make Cowboy Cookies, I like to get creative with the mix-ins. One time, I added in some shredded coconut and toasted pecans, giving the cookies a tropical twist.
Making Cowboy Cookies is a simple process that can be done in a few steps. First, I cream together the butter and sugar until they are light and fluffy. Then, I add in the eggs and vanilla extract and mix until well combined. Finally, I slowly add in the dry ingredients and any mix-ins I have chosen. I like to use a cookie scoop to portion out the dough onto a baking sheet and then pop them in the oven to bake.
In conclusion, Cowboy Cookies hold a special place in my heart and I love making them for my family and friends. They are a classic treat that never goes out of style and always bring a smile to everyone’s face. Whether you’re a seasoned baker or just starting out, I highly recommend giving Cowboy Cookies a try.
What sets this recipe apart from the rest is no baking powder or baking soda. During testing, we found the addition of either of those or a combination of the two ingredients made for puffy sugar cookies that lost their shape while baking from puffing up too much. We also found that we preferred the flavour of these cookies without those two ingredients. They are absolutely not needed in this sugar cookie recipe.
