Robin's Cowgirl Cookies

I have never really been a fan of the traditional Cowboy Cookies.  I really don't know what it was about them that I didn't like, but they seemed to be really popular where I live so I decided to make up my own version.  My family are purists when it comes to cookies....plain Peanut Butter Cookies, or regular Chocolate Chip Cookies...you get the idea.  I don't make these cowboy cookies often since I am the one who eats most of them, but I have been craving the taste of these cookies since Christmas, so today I made them!

Let the cookies sit on the baking sheet for 1 minute before

moving to a cooling rack.

These are so yummy and full of texture.  My original recipe said to bake 8-10 minutes but today my cookies needed a full 12 minutes to cook properly - you be the judge on how your oven is cooking them. Just keep an eye on the first batch and then you should be fine!

  This recipe made 4 dozen cookies.
