COWBOY COOKIES

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Add the oats and stir to combine.
• In the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugars together until smooth and creamy. Add the egg and egg yolk, beating until the mixture looks light and fluffy. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl, add the vanilla, and beat for 5 seconds. Dissolve the espresso powder in 1/4 Celsius hot water and add it to the bowl, mixing until combined.
• Add half of the dry ingredients and mix for 15 seconds. Add the remaining dry ingredients and beat until just incorporated. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl and fold in the chocolate chunks and 1/2 Celsius of the pretzel pieces.
• Cover the bowl tightly and refrigerate the dough for at least 4 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 350. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Use a small ice cream scoop with a release mechanism to scoop out dough in 2-tablespoon-size balls (or use a tablespoon measure, which is what I did) and place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet about 1 inch apart. Sprinkle the remaining pretzel pieces over the dough balls. Use the palm of your hand to press the dough down lightly; don't smash the cookie--you just want to slightly flatten the ball and push the pretzel pieces into the dough.
• Bake for 11-13 minutes, rotating the pans halfway through the baking time, until the edges of the cookies are golden brown or just start to darken.
• Set the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes to cool. Use a spatula to transfer the cookies to the rack to cool completely. They can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

SIMPLE OATMEAL COOKIES OR COWBOY COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°.
• To make Simple Oatmeal Cookies: Mix the flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt together in a large bowl.
• Stir in the remaining ingredients.
• Arrange by teaspoonfuls on unbuttered cookie sheets. Leave about 1 inch in between. They do spread a wee bit. Not too much though.
• Bake until the edges are brown, about 10-12 minutes.
• For Cowboy Cookies: Add in coconut and chocolate chips when you add in the rest of the ingredients (Step 3). Drop them by the FULL tablespoon on a cookie sheet. (Might have to "squish" them a bit) Bake for 14-17 minutes or until mostly brown.

HEALTHY COWBOY COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325.
• Let the dates soak in the hot water until softened, about ten minutes.
• Meanwhile, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a bowl.
• In a separate bowl, beat the beans until mashed.
• Blend or food process the dates until a thick paste is formed. An immersion blender is helpful for this step.
• Add the melted butter, date paste, white sugar, eggs, and vanilla to the beans one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
• Gradually stir in the flour mixture until just combined.
• Stir in the chocolate chips, oats, coconut and pecans.
• Drop cookies by spoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheet and flatten some because they will not spread out naturally, and bake for 9-10 minutes. Even if the cookies do not look quite done, take them out and let them cool for 10 minutes on the baking sheet, during which time they should finish cooking. (I am not talking about really undone cookies, just ones that look like they need a minute or two more to bake).
• Tip: I can never eat an entire batch of cookies before they go bad, so I bake up what I want right away, form the rest of the dough into cookie-sized balls or discs, and freeze them in a container between layers of waxed paper. You only have to add a minute or two more to the baking time for frozen cookie dough.
