Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Amount |
|---|---|
| Unsalted butter, softened | 1 cup (2 sticks) |
| Granulated sugar | 1 cup |
| Brown sugar, packed | 1 cup |
| Large eggs, room temperature | 2 |
| Vanilla extract | 1 teaspoon |
| All-purpose flour | 2 cups |
| Salt | ½ teaspoon |
| Baking powder | 1 teaspoon |
| Baking soda | 1 teaspoon |
| Old-fashioned oats | 1 cup |
| Sliced almonds | 1 cup |
| Sweetened shredded coconut | ½ cup |
| White chocolate chips | 1½ cups |
Instructions:
Step 1: Cream the Butter and Sugars
In a large bowl or stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is creamy and fluffy—about 3 minutes.
Step 2: Add Eggs and Vanilla
Mix in the eggs one at a time, making sure each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract until evenly combined.
Step 3: Mix in the Dry Ingredients
Add the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda to the bowl. Mix on low speed just until the dry ingredients are incorporated. Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies tender.
Step 4: Fold in the Good Stuff
Gently stir in the oats, sliced almonds, and shredded coconut. Then add the white chocolate chips and mix until everything is evenly distributed.
Step 5: Chill the Dough
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the fridge for at least 1 hour (or up to 24 hours). Chilling the dough helps the cookies hold their shape and enhances their flavor.
Step 6: Preheat and Prepare
When ready to bake, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 7: Portion and Bake
Use a large cookie scoop or ¼ cup measure to scoop the dough onto the baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie. Bake for 13–15 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are just set.
Step 8: Cool and Serve
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy these hearty, sweet, and satisfying Cowgirl Cookies at your next gathering—or keep them all to yourself (we won’t tell)!
