Cowboy Cookies- Unplugged

Okay so my friends say I need to post a recipe once in while, so here goes. This one is dedicated to my mother-in-law, the queen of the Cowboy Cookie, it is her recipe but I just like to kick it up a notch and turn them into killer ice cream sandwiches.




Cowboy Cookies Unplugged

3 cups flour

1 tsp salt

1 tsp baking powder

1 ½ tsp soda

3 cups quick oats


1 ½ cup shortening

1 ½ cup brown sugar

1 ½ cup white sugar

3 eggs

1 tsp vanilla

1 tbsp water


1 ½ cup coarsely chopped walnuts ( I toast the walnuts for 5 minutes at 350 degrees on a cookie sheet before using, makes the flavor pop)

1 pkg semi sweet chocolate chips

You know the drill, mix the wet and dry separate, then combine and add nuts and chocolate chips.

Bake at 350 for 12-15 minutes depending on size of cookie.

Then I just match up sizes and fill with a yummy ice cream, wrap in wax paper and stick ‘em back in the freezer for as long as they last- around here that’s not long
