Cowboy Cookie Recipe

Today marks our 2nd day staying indoors at the Howerton House! The combonation of the "lock-in" and the snow outside makes it feel very much like a holiday! And so....we baked! Per friend requests, here's our family recipe for Cowboy Cookies...



Ingredients:
2 Cups Flower
1/2 t baking powder
1 t baking soda
1/2 t salt
1 Cup White Sugar
1 Cup Brown Sugar
1 Cup buttered soft shortening
2 Eggs
1/2 t Vanilla
2 Cups Oatmeal
1 Bag of Chocoalte Chips
1 Cup Chopped Pecans



Measure flour, baking powder, soda and salt together. Sift into bowl (I personally don't have/use a sifter; I just put all ingredients into bowl and wisk a bit).
In Large bowl - blend white sugar, brown sugar & shortening. Add eggs & beat together. Add flour mixture & vanilla, oatmeal, choc chips & pecans.

I then use a table spoon to help make dough "clumps" and drop them on greased cookie sheet.



Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes.

Makes approx 6 dozen.

Hope you ENJOY as much as we do!! Happy Snow Days friends & fam!! XoXo!

Blessings,
The Howertons
