These cowboy cookies are packed with chewy coconut, crunchy pecans, gooey chocolate chips, and hearty oats, making them the ultimate treat for anyone who loves a combination of textures and flavors in every bite.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups old-fashioned oats
  • 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, use a stand mixer or hand mixer to beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
  4. Mix in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, making sure everything is well combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Stir in the oats, shredded coconut, chopped pecans, and chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon.
  7. Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop rounded dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look slightly underbaked. They’ll continue to set as they cool.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For extra flavor, toast the pecans before adding them to the dough. If the dough feels too soft, refrigerate it for 15-20 minutes to prevent spreading during baking.
