Make these hearty, loaded cowboy cookies featuring oats, chocolate chips, pecans, and toffee bits for a satisfying, chewy treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/2 cup toffee bits

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
  5. Stir in the rolled oats, chocolate chips, chopped pecans, and toffee bits by hand until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  6. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. These are thick, hearty cookies.
  7. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are set and lightly golden brown. The centers should still look slightly soft for a chewy texture.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar.
  • If you prefer a crunchier cookie, bake for an additional 1 to 2 minutes.
  • You can substitute walnuts for pecans if desired.
  • This recipe makes excellent homemade cowboy cookies for bake sales.
