These chewy cowboy cookies combine old-fashioned oats, shredded coconut, and semisweet chocolate chips for a hearty, rustic treat that’s quick and easy to make.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1¾ cups (220g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¾ cup (170g) unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup (150g) packed brown sugar
  • ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups (180g) old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup (80g) sweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 cup (170g) semisweet chocolate chips
  • Optional: ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In another bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract until smooth and glossy.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined to avoid overmixing.
  6. Gently fold in the rolled oats, shredded coconut, and chocolate chips. Add nuts if using.
  7. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes until cookies are golden at the edges but still soft in the center.
  9. Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

Do not overbake to keep cookies chewy. Use old-fashioned oats for best texture. Chill dough for 20 minutes if kitchen is warm to prevent spreading. Rotate baking sheets halfway through baking for even browning. Store with a slice of bread to maintain moisture.
