Laura Bushs Cowboy Cookies Chewy Chunky Texas Treasure

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy (about 3–4 minutes).
4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Mix in the vanilla extract.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
6. Gently fold in the rolled oats, chocolate chips, chopped pecans, and coconut using a rubber spatula until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
7. Drop rounded spoonfuls (about 1.5 tablespoons) of dough onto the prepared sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each mound.
8. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Cookies are done when the edges are golden brown and the centres still look slightly soft.
9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before carefully transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
