The Best Cowboy Cookies Recipe

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 (F). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside.

Step 2

In a large bowl using a whisk, beat together the browned butter and both sugars until well combined, about 2 minutes. Don't worry if they look a little separated here.

Step 3

Whisk in the eggs and yolk, beating until well combined. About 45 seconds. Whisk in the vanilla.

Step 4

In a separate large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, oats, coconut, pecans, and chocolate chips.

Step 5

Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.

Step 6

Scoop 2-inch balls of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving 2-inches between each ball so they have room to spread.

Step 7

Bake, one sheet at a time, in preheated oven for 12 minutes, or until cookies are golden and set at the edges and still slightly soft in the center.

Step 8

Press extra chocolate chips and pecans on top of cookies when they come out of the oven (optional). Sprinkle with sea salt, if desired.

Step 9

Cool cookies on baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
