Our hearty recipe for cowboy cookies is jam-packed with oats, coconut, pecans, and chocolate. No raisins here—though you can add them if you like.
While their name suggest an arresting origin story, the history of cowboy cookies is a bit murky. The most popular theory points to Texas as their place of birth; their hearty mix-ins could sustain a cowboy through a long day of driving cattle. But like all culinary lore, both the recipe and the story has changed over the years. The cookie itself varies from source to source, but the common denominator is always a mix of old-fashioned oats, shredded or flaked coconut, chocolate , and pecans.
If you prefer your oatmeal cookies without raisins, this might be your new favorite dessert, though a handful of dried cranberries or raisins would certainly be welcome here if you do want to add them. A quick oatmeal cookie dough made with dark or light brown sugar, granulated sugar, vanilla, and a healthy dose of cinnamon acts as the glue that holds the copious mix-ins together.
