Cowboys......?


Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
8 ounces (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup light-brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups old-fashioned oats
6 ounces semisweet chocolate, cut into chunks
3 ounces (3/4 cup) pecan halves
1/2 cup shredded unsweetened coconut

Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Coat baking sheets with cooking spray, line with parchment, and spray parchment. Sift flour, baking soda, salt, and baking powder into a medium bowl.
Beat butter and sugars with a mixer on medium-high until pale and creamy, about 3 minutes. Reduce speed to medium. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla.
Reduce speed to low, and slowly add flour mixture, beating until just incorporated. Beat in oats, chocolate, pecans, and coconut until combined.

(Dough can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.)
Using a small spoon, drop dough onto baking sheets, spacing 3 inches apart.
Bake until edges of cookies begin to brown, 11 to 13 minutes.

Transfer baking sheets to wire rack, and let cool for 5 minutes.
Transfer cookies to racks. Let cool.
and my little cowgirl thinks they are delicious too!
My joy:
I love browsing websites, one of my favourites is Martha Stewart (which is where this recipe is "borrowed" from! )
I LOVE trying new dishes....or cookies....and what gives me the greatest satisfaction is hearing all the apprecciative gobbling noises from Adam...and it definately brings joy to my heart to see my little cowgirl take a big bite and declare it "YUMMY MOMMY!"
