COWBOY COOKIES.....GOOD ONES

COWBOY COOKIES

1 cup (2 sticks) margarine, room temp.
½ cup (one stick) unsalted butter, room temp.
2 cups white sugar
2 cups brown sugar, dark brown
4 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoons of baking soda
4 cups of unbleached flour
4 cups quick (not instant) oatmeal, uncooked
3 cups chocolate chips
1 cup coconut
1 cup Heath English toffee bits ( or chopped nuts, I used nuts) Chopped fine.

Whip margarine, butter, and sugar until mixed well. Add eggs and the vanilla.

Whisk or sift together in a large bowl....flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Mix into cream mixture. Add oats, then remaining ingredients.

Scoop out onto non greased cookie sheet ( I used a tablespoon) .

Bake 10-12 Minutes, until lightly golden on top.

Let cool for about a minute and then take out of pan and lay on foil paper until cooled.

This made about 61/2 dozen the size I made them you may make them larger or smaller.

This mixture will get very thick. I just wash my hands again and get my hands into the mixture and mix it well with my hands. It is easier that way.

I hope you like them as much as we do....Grandma
