Laura Bush's Cowboy Cookies

• total tid: 18 minutes

Ingredienser

1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened

1 cup granulated sugar

1 cup packed brown sugar

2 large eggs, room temperature

1 tsp vanilla extract

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp baking powder

Fremgangsmåte

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

Cream butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar for 2–3 minutes until light and fluffy.

Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla.

Whisk flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to wet mixture, mixing just until combined.

Fold in oats, chocolate chips, and pecans.

Scoop dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart.

Bake 10–12 minutes until edges are golden and centers are still slightly soft.

Rest 5 minutes on baking sheet, then transfer to a wire rack.

Pro Tips:

Use butter softened but still cool — too soft = flat cookies.

Spoon and level flour — too much makes dry, tough cookies.

Pull cookies when centers are slightly underdone — they finish baking on the pan for perfect chewy texture.
