Cowboy Cookies - Laura Bush
  1. Heat oven to 350 degrees.

  2. Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt in bowl.

  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.

  4. Add eggs one at a time, beating after each. Beat in vanilla.

  5. Stir in flour mixture until just combined. Stir in chocolate chips, oats, coconut and pecans.

  6. For each cookie, drop ¼ cup dough onto ungreased baking sheets, spacing 3 inches apart.

  7. Bake for 15 to 17 minutes, until edges are lightly browned; rotate sheets halfway through. Remove cookies from rack to cool.

Note - ¼ balls can be frozen to bake as desired by increasing bake time to 20 minutes, no thawing needed.

Note - substituted half the butter for lard. Makes cookies crunchy on the outside and soft in the inside.
