Colorado Cowboy Cookies
2 cups all purpose flour
2 cups old-fashioned oats
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons (packed) dark brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup chopped toasted walnuts (about 4 ounces)
How To Prepare:
Take the first five ingredients and whisk in medium bowl. Beat butter and sugars in large bowl until it becomes light and fluffy. Now add eggs and vanilla and beat it to combine. After that add dry ingredients and beat until just blended. Now stir in chocolate chips and walnuts. Cover the dough and chill it for one hour.
Preheat to 350°F. Grease baking sheet. Make the dough into balls, using 1/4 cup dough for each. Place all on prepared sheets, spacing it at least two inches apart. Flatten them with hand to 3 1/2-inch rounds. Bake 10 minutes and then rotate sheets. Bake it until cookies are golden brown in color around the edges and firm in center, about 4 minutes longer. Next, cool it on sheet for 5 minutes. Transfer to racks to cool completely.
These BIG cookies are ready to enjoy!
I loved looking at so many pictures of Colorado. It is beautiful! Katherine Lee Bates wrote "America the Beautiful" after being inspired by the view from Pikes Peak. Another fun fact that I read about was that thousands of valentines are re-mailed from Loveland each year. Seems like a romantic idea to me...
Thanks for visiting!
