Our Famous Cowboy Cookies

We used to make different cookies each day, but our returning guests always wanted Janet's Cowboy Cookies.

Makes 3 ½ to 4 dozen cookies. We often freeze the batter and then defrost it when needed. Works great if you only want a few at a time.

Ingredients

2 ¼ C Shortening (we substitute 2 C butter and ¼ C Vegetable Oil)
2 C Sugar
2 ½ C Brown Sugar
5 Eggs
2 tsp Vanilla Extract
¾ C Chunky Peanut Butter
4 ½ Cups all-purpose Flour

2 tsp Baking Soda
1 tsp Baking Powder
1 tsp Salt
3 C Rolled Oats
2 ½ C Bran Flakes or other Cereal
2 C Chocolate Chips (we mix half semi sweet and half white)
1 C Chopped Walnuts
½ C Shredded Coconut

Directions

Cream together the shortening and sugars. Add the eggs, vanilla, and peanut butter. Sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt; add to the creamed mixture. Add oats, bran flakes, chocolate chips, and walnuts; mix well. Drop by rounded 1/8 cupfuls onto a greased cookie sheet (we use a small ice cream scoop and silpat baking mats). Bake in a 350F oven until the edges turn brown and the centers still look chewy (about 12 mins).
