Cowgirl Cookie Mix

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.
