Cooking Recipes: Cowboy Cookies
This recipe came to The Times in 2000 during the Bush-Gore presidential campaign when Family Circle magazine ran cookie recipes from each of the candidates' wives and asked readers to vote. Laura Bush's cowboy cookies, a classic chocolate chip cookie that's been beefed up with oats, pecans, coconut and cinnamon, beat Tipper Gore's ginger snaps by a mile. Here is an adaptation of that winning recipe.
Cowboy Cookies
INGREDIENTS
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 tablespoon baking soda
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
1 ½ cups (3 sticks) butter, at room temperature

1 ½ cups packed light-brown sugar
3 eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla
3 cups semisweet chocolate chips
3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
2 cups usweetened flake coconut
2 cups chopped pecans (8 ounces)
PREPARATION
Step 1
Heat oven to 350 degrees.
Step 2
Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt in bowl.
Step 3
In a very large bowl, beat butter with an electric mixer at medium speed until smooth and creamy. Gradually beat in sugars, and combine thoroughly.
Step 4
Add eggs one at a time, beating after each. Beat in vanilla.
Step 5
Stir in flour mixture until just combined. Stir in chocolate chips, oats, coconut and pecans.
Step 6
For each cookie, drop 1/4 cup dough onto ungreased baking sheets, spacing 3 inches apart.
Step 7
Bake for 15 to 17 minutes, until edges are lightly browned; rotate sheets halfway through. Remove cookies from rack to cool.
