Cowboy Cookies

To me, this is not just another cookie recipe. This is my Grandma’s cookie recipe. As a child, every time we went to visit Grandma, there was a batch of Cowboy Cookies on the counter and three more in the freezer.

These cookies get their name because they are hearty and packed with goodness like oats, chocolate chips, and raisins – fit to feed a cowboy.

Either way, they are a delicious family favourite that I’m sure will soon be yours as well.

Hannah’s Hints:

Step 2: If you are like me and don’t have enough time to bring butter to room temperature, use the paddle attachment on your stand up mixer. Beat the butter for a minute or two and it will become soft.
