This Texas-born cookie made famous by first lady Laura Bush come fully loaded with as many ingredients are you can cram into one cookie and the results are absolutely spectacular.
#CowboyCookies are hearty enough to satisfy any cowboy's appetite, but if you have any coconut or pecan lovers in your life, it’ll be great for them too. It’s great for gift-giving around the holidays, perfect for potluck parties, and even better for sharing with the family hot out of the oven.
FUN FACT: If I have my facts correct, Laura Bush entered these cookies in Family Circle Magazines’ Presidential Cookie Bake-Off the year Bush and Clinton were running against each other. Apparently, the wives of the presidential candidates enter a cookie recipe in this contest..who decided the winner, I don’t know. I do know that Laura lost to Hilary, but her entry made these cookies soar to fame and now we all get to reap the benefit. Win!

Instructions
00:00 Introduction
00:28 Preheat oven to 350F (175C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
00:32 In a large bowl, combine butter and sugars and use an electric mixer (or you may use a stand mixer) to cream together until thoroughly combined and light and fluffy.
01:13 Add eggs and vanilla extract and stir until thoroughly combined.
01:27 In a separate bowl whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until thoroughly combined.
01:50 Gradually stir dry ingredients into wet (either using mixer on low-speed or by hand) until ingredients are thoroughly combined.
02:04 Add oats, coconut, pecans, and chocolate chips and use a spatula to stir together until ingredients are evenly distributed.
02:55 Drop cookie dough by heaping 2 Tablespoon-sized scoop onto prepared baking sheet, and, if desired, use your hands to round into a ball (the dough will be a bit sticky, but this will make rounder, more uniform looking cookies). Space cookies at least 2” apart.
03:38 Transfer to 350F (175C) preheated oven and bake for 12-14 minutes and edges of cookies are light golden brown. Centers may seem slightly underbaked still, this is fine, allow cookies to cool completely on baking sheet where they will finish baking but still be soft and chewy.
Notes
Oats
I recommend whole oats for this recipe for the best texture. Substituting instant oats could make the cookies dry.
Coconut
I have only made this recipe using sweetened shredded coconut. While unsweetened coconut may work, the cookies will be less sweet and I would expect them to be more dry and prone to crumbling as well.
Making in Advance
The cookie dough may be made up to 5 days in advance of baking and stored tightly covered in the refrigerator.
Storing
After baking, cookies will stay fresh in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.

Laura Bush's Cowboy Cookies | Southern Living
Former First Lady Laura Bush is credited with putting these delicious oat-, coconut-, and pecan-stuffed chocolate chip cookies, now known as Cowboy Cookies, on the map. And the story behind her famous Cowboy Cookie recipe is almost as good as the cookies themselves. Almost.
Starting in 1992, Family Circle magazine has orchestrated a political bake-offthis link opens in a new tab during every presidential election year. It was already commonplace for presidential candidates to release family recipes during their campaign—it helps to humanize the candidates and also allows them to promote family values. But Family Circle decided to up the antethis link opens in a new tab by publishing cookie recipes from the wives of each candidate and asking readers to try baking both and then vote on their favorite. The results of the bake-off have interestingly almost always predictedthis link opens in a new tab the winner of the presidential election, save a couple outliers.
In the first First Lady bake-off in 1992, Hillary Clinton’s chocolate chip cookies beat out Barbara Bush’s still-delicious chocolate chip recipe, and again in 1996, Hillary’s chocolate chip recipe won over Elizabeth Dole’s Pecan Roll cookies. In 2000, Laura Bush debuted her Texas Governor’s House Cowboy Cookies, and as expected, they beat our Tipper Gore’s ginger snap recipe. Laura switched up her recipe during her husband’s second presidential campaign in 2004 to a similar oatmeal chocolate chunk recipe, but it’s her first Cowboy Cookie that’s become so famous.
As with most things in Texas, Laura’s Cowboy Cookies are big and completely stuffed with so many mix-ins: oats, coconut, pecans, and of course, chocolate chips. They’re sure to win over any crowd.
