Cowboy Cookies
"You don't have to be a cowboy or cowgirl to love these cookies.There are so many textures, flavors, and elements in every bite and it all somehow works. They're like anOatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookiewith the addition ofshredded coconut.Throw in some pecans and Cornflakes and you've got yourself a mouthful. The pecans add a firmer crunch while the Cornflakes add a lighter, crispier crunch. The crunchiness plays off the chewiness from the oats and coconut beautifully. I've seen them called Kitchen Sink Cookies and for good reason. Almost everything but the kitchen sink is in them and it's the type of recipe that it's easy to make substitutions based on the add-ins used...."
