Christmas Cowboy Cookies

Christmas Cowboy Cookies are simply scrumptious and kids and adults will love them!  They are full chocolate chips, M&M’s, oatmeal, dried cranberries and the list goes on.  You get a little bit of everything in every bite you take.  You can not go wrong making these cookies for a Christmas party or cookie exchange.

I was fortunate to have everything in my pantry when I made these.  Using my stand mixer I started to combine all the ingredients.  One of the first things I did was toast the coconut in the oven, be sure to not skip this part it does make a difference in the taste.

Once everything is mixed start spooning or use a cookie scoop to place on a ungreased baking sheet.  Place on the oven and let the Christmas Cowboy Cookies bake.  Once they are done, try to let them cool before eating, which will be hard to do! Be sure to make them this Christmas season and have a glass of Old Fashioned Homemade Egg Nog.
