Description: David Sutherland's Cowboy Cookie. Keywords: Sugar, Eggs, Vanilla Extract, Rolled Oats, Pecans, Chocolate Chips, Shredded Coconut.

In a large bowl, with an electric mixer, cream the shortening, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Add eggs and the vanilla and beat until well blended. Stir in the flour, baking soda, salt, and baking powder. Add oats, nuts, chocolate chips and coconut, mix until combined. Spoon cookie mixture onto greased foil lined cookie sheet. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool.

Dry as prairie dust. Crunchy as a thunderstorm. Western as coconut. You'll love them or hate them, so I give them a 3.

I made these cookies today.   I can recommend that it is a good recipe; however, I made a few minor changes.    I eliminated the pecans (due to allergy concerns) and added another cup of coconut.   I added 1/2 tsp of lemon extract as well as the vanilla in the recipe.   I added a little more than 6 oz of Dark Chocolate chips.     And 8 to 10 minutes is not quite enough to bake them.    I had to bake them closer to 12 to 14 minutes for the correct amount of browning and doneness - they were still cakelike and soft - not hard.     I used parchment paper and sprayed a little baking spray.   I used a cookie "baller" with a handle for ease of consistent measurement.     Still ended up with 4 doz cookies that were about 2.5 inches in diameter--- a nice size.

Very yummy. I added more coconut and used a little less oats along with mini M&amp;M's instead of chocolate chips.

I made these cookies exactly as written. I've never baked with Cisco before, and I am not sure I will again. These did not bake nicely, and they didn't have any real flavor at all. The only thing they had going for them was the texture they had. Very delicate despite all the stuff that's it in. However, I couldn't taste any coconut, or pecan, or anything else.

Made these cookies, Yum, Yum. Did not have coconut so used dried cherries soaked in brandy. Also doubled the choc. chips.

Fantastic cookie!!!  I used butter instead of crisco and  2/3 cup of crunchy pecan granola and reduced the oatmeal by 2/3 cups plus I added raisens. Very chewy on the inside.

Delicious!  I add extra chocolate chips and nuts but instead of putting them in the batter I scoop the cookies out and press the extra goodies into the tops and sides of the cookies.  They look like they came from the bakery!  

Great cookie recipe makes dozens and keeps well. Great for making Christmas platters. I like them without coconut. I add extra pecans. It's faster cookie making if you just make small balls with your hands<br />

Loved this recipie. We live in a high altitude place and these cookies baked up great!! My family loved them. Very yummy!!

I have made them with just butter and just  Crisco and also tried a combination of Crisco and butter.  Crisco is the winner. I had also added white chocolate chips, raisins, Heath Bar bits,a couple tablespoon peanut butter. Made 12 doz and gave them out to the office. Raves and when are you going to make them again. Crisco is the way to go.
