\"Cookies<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Have you ever heard of “Cowboy Cookies?”<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cowboy Cookies are simply oatmeal cookies made with shredded coconut, chocolate chips and pecans<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, why are they called “Cowboy Cookies?”<\/strong> No one really knows for sure. But, Cowboy or not, these loaded oatmeal cookies are totally delicious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They’re quick and easy<\/strong> to make and loaded with sweet and nutty flavor. Plus, there’s no chill time<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m a big fan of coconut, chocolate, oats, and nuts. <\/strong>So naturally, these cookies are a favorite of mine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dip them in a cup of hot coffee and it’s DESSERT HEAVEN. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Cookies<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This cookie recipe is fairly simple, and like many others.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

And it’s similar to my Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies<\/a> and Oatmeal Scotchies<\/a>. This one is made in one bowl, with no chill time.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, you’ll cream your butter and both sugars together. Add your vanilla and egg and briefly blend them in. Then, you’ll add your gluten-free all purpose flour blend, cinnamon, baking soda and salt. Blend till you have a smooth cookie dough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, using your strong cowboy muscles (maybe that’s why they’re called Cowboy Cookies?!) fold in your oats, coconut, chocolate chips, and pecans. <\/strong>It’s a lot<\/em> to fold in. These cookies are seriously loaded<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scoop the cookie dough balls onto a pan and bake. That’s the quick gist! Easy peasy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

INGREDIENTS<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

These gluten-free Cowboy Cookies <\/strong>are made with a gluten-free all purpose flour blend<\/a> (with xantham gum) and certified gluten-free oats<\/a>. If you can’t eat oats, then these aren’t the cookies for you (darn it!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’d like to make them dairy-free as well, <\/strong>you can use coconut oil or a dairy-free butter stick alternative (like Earth Balance or Country Crock) and dairy-free chocolate chips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I like the addition of cinnamon in all of my oatmeal cookies.<\/strong> I think cinnamon and oats go together like a dream, and it adds more of a depth of flavor to the cookies. But, if you aren’t the biggest cinnamon fan you can omit it. If you absolutely love cinnamon<\/em>, you may want to add 2 teaspoons instead of just 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can use sweetened or unsweetened shredded coconut<\/strong>, either one works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And if you don’t like pecans, you could use walnuts instead.<\/strong> Not technically “Cowboy Cookies” then, but still a totally delicious cookie. Or, if you need them to be nut-free you can just omit all nuts.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Close<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

These gluten-free Cowboy Cookies are a fun, loaded treat. Sweet, nutty, chewy, plus quick and easy to make (in just one bowl!)… how can you say no?!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
