Cooking Steps Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This guarantees that your cookies bake evenly.

5. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, stir in the vanilla extract until combined.
6. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix.
7. Add Chocolate Chips and Nuts: Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped nuts (if using) with a spatula or wooden spoon until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
8. Scoop Dough onto Baking Sheets: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
9. Bake Cookies: Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers still look slightly soft.
10. Cool the Cookies: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to wire racks to cool completely.
11. Enjoy: Once cooled, enjoy your Classic Cowboy Oatmeal Cookies with a glass of milk, or package them up as a sweet homemade gift!
