We like raisins instead of chocolate chips and no cinnamon.
In the cowboy cookie recipe, the number of eggs to use was omitted. Please tell me how many eggs to use. I so want to make these cookies.
Hi Nancy! You will use two eggs. Please let us know how you like them!
This is so wonderful; thank you! I bake cookies frequently for bake sales at our church and all of these cookie recipes are great!
How delighted I was to see Cowboy cookies recipe that I've been making since the late 70's from a Pat Boone recipe I found in the newspaper. I also added peanut butter and maybe the ingredients are not exactly the same, but it was my favorite cookie recipe. I still make it at age 76. thank you!
Thank you for the recipe. Within the next few hours I hope my home will be filled with the aroma of baking cowboy cookies (made with what I have on hand, i.e., goji berries and hazelnuts) and also a playlist's worth of old-time cowboy songs by the Bunkhouse Orchestra Deseret String Band, beginning with "A Cowboy's Life."
*Not to be confused with Cow Pies.
These look fantastic, but I am wondering if I can use less sugar and if so what would be the least amount of sugar I could use while still having the recipe turn out? I am trying very hard to reduce my overall sugar intake. Thank you.
Hi, Shelley. You could use 1/4 less brown sugar and 1/3 less white sugar. The cookies will be different, but still good.
You can substitute Monk sugar for regular sugar. Monk sugar has no cal., no glycemic index rating and tastes good.
These cookies always make me one happy cowboy - they are my hands down favorite! In addition to adding coconut, I also switch half of the chocolate chips to butterscotch. Can't beat the combination, although someday I may try half peanut butter chips just for fun. Oh, I also prefer pecans to walnuts.
