Cowgirl Cookies
Depending upon the size you make you will get anywhere from 2-3 dozen cookies
1 1/3 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup cooking oats
3/4 cup M&Ms
3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup brown sugar (I used dark brown sugar as I like the rich flavor)
1/2 cup white sugar
1/3 - 1/2 cup chopped pecans
1 egg
1/2 cup butter (melted slightly in the microwave; about 30 seconds worked for me; you want it soft not liquid)
1 teaspoon vanilla
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Stir all the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
Add:
1 slightly beaten egg
1/2 cup butter (melted slightly in the microwave; about 30 seconds worked for me)
1 teaspoon vanilla
Mix wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Use the back of a large spoon to work it all together. You may even need to use your hands to get everything incorporated. I definitely used my hands to bring it all together. I went back to the recipe twice as I was sure some wet ingredient was missing. Trust me, it just takes a little TLC to get everything combined.
Roll the cookie dough into 1 1/2 inch balls, place on a parchment covered baking sheet or silpat and bake for about 10 minutes in a preheated 350 degree oven. I used my 1 1/2 inch cookie scoop and baked for 9 minutes. The mixture does get a little sticky on the hands when rolling out. The way I got around this was to place a scoop of dough in my hand and then close my hand for about 5 seconds. The heat from your hand helps keep everything together and less sticky. I then rolled into a circle and placed on the cookie sheet. Angie said she got about 26-28 cookies out of these, but I got about 40 since I used the scoop.
