Last week when we made slow-cooked beef roast with vegetables and calico bell pepper muffins we also made cowboy cookies. This is a recipe that has been in our family's repertoire for generations, but funny enough, we don't know how they got their name. A cowboy cookie is basically a crispy oatmeal cookie with chocolate chips. That cowboys like? No idea. But they're good on their own, and great with a cold glass of milk.
Cowboy Cookies
2 c. all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 c. butter, softened
3/4 c. white sugar
3/4 c. packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 c. rolled oats
1 c. semisweet chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease baking sheets (or use silpat mats). Mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Gradually stir in the dry ingredients. Stir in the rolled oats and chocolate chips. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheets.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes before removing.

Oh my god, SO yummy!!!
Thanks Rachelle! Those look really good.
Isn't this just the Toll House cookie recipe with oatmeal instead of nuts? It's how my mom used to make them in days of yore.
i'm not sure.. I don't think I've actually ever made Toll House's recipe. Did your mom call them Cowboy Cookies? Or just Chocolate Chip Cookies? I'm so bothered by how the cowboys got involved! :)
WWWWEEEELLLL GGGGOOOOOOOODDDD

news flash dude, you have the nerve to step
up into The Kingdom of Spook with no rep, no street cred, and zero back up.
But you pop on the mean Chicagoist Streets and think You running something!
Son, No body knows you!
And yesterday face office against Spav1 of the Zeta Waita Chicken wing plata Kappa Crapa Gapa Goo Sorority and a proud alumnus of the “Truman College” aka the “Princeton of the Midwest” that offers air conditioner repair and truck driving degrees via a 1-800 number on day time TV, and that once had a more prestigious satellite office named Tuman’s Tavern and Alcohol Abuse Center located on Chicago Ave, and think you can step to this! Me? The Spook?
Son, what are you thinking? All this here, all that you see up in here is Me! What I’m saying is that basically ya whole style is Chump!
Up in this piece, I’m the Rza, Only Built for Cuban Linkx!
Wow,
What happened to the cookie talk. MMMMMMMMMMMMM cookies.
@Spook:
I put your name out on the streets like Omar did to Marlo, and guess what? Nothing from you. And unlike Omar, I didn't get tagged by a little kid buying Newports. You're apparently just like your hero, Obama. All talk, nothing to back it up. And all of New City will read about it.
@Fed Up:
Cookies are delicious.
