Cowboy Cookies


These cookies represent much effort on my and Melissa's part to make the best chocolate chip cookies. My mom made these all the time when we were kids, and while they were good, we wanted to make them better. So here you go- the best version of oatmeal chocolate chip cookies I've personally ever tried. Seriously. I get compliments whenever I feed these to someone, and I've been asked for the recipe many times. Aren't you all lucky.

2 C. Oatmeal
1 3/4 C. flour
1/2 C. sugar
1/2 C. brown sugar
1 cube butter
1/2 C. olive oil
2 eggs
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda mixed in 1 tsp. hot water
1 tsp. vanilla (it MUST be Watkins vanilla)
1 1/3 C. chocolate chips\

Mix all ingredients and place on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 for 11-13 minutes. I cook mine for 11 minutes, so watch them to make sure they don't over-bake. 11 minutes is when they start slightly browning around the edges in my oven.

  1. SO, in ours, we do 1/3 cup white sugar, 1/2 cup brown sugar, we don't mix the baking soda with the water (we just add it to the dough), I increase the vanilla by 1/2 tsp., I do 1 1/4 cups chocolate chips, and I start with 1 1/2 cups flour. Also, last night we used these big farm eggs our neighbor gave us, and some of them were double yolked and so on the last egg I took out the white and just added the yolk. The texture was more awesome than normal. Finally, we only do a double batch,.

  2. DOn't use old oatmeal. It ruins the whole thing.
