Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 0.75 cup chopped pecans
- 0.5 cup shredded sweetened coconut
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, baking soda, cinnamon, Cajun seasoning, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together using a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
Use a spatula to fold in the dark chocolate chips, pecans, and shredded coconut until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Scoop tablespoons of dough and drop them onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown but the centers are still soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your Cajun Cowboy Cookies with a cold glass of milk or a hot cup of coffee!
