Cowboy Cookies

Source: Will Cooks For Smiles
Ingredients:

1 cup butter ( I add about 5 tablespoons of smooth peanut butter because not enough of butter )

1/2 cup granulated sugar ( I used 1/4 cup )

2/3 cup brown sugar

2 eggs ( I used size C )

1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

2 cups All-Purpose Flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda

2 cups rolled oats

1/2 cup chopped almonds ( I used Cashew nuts )

1/2 cup chocolate chips

1/2 cup shredded coconut ( I used Hawaiian toasted coconut )

1/2 cup dried cranberries ( I used raisin soaked in hot water then squeeze the raisins ) 

Method:-

Preheat the oven to 160C.

Beat the butter and sugars until creamy and smooth ( about 2 - 3 minutes ).

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.

Beat in the vanilla extract.

Add the flour, baking soda, salt and oats to the creamed mixture and beat just until incorporated.

Stir in the chocolate chips, cranberries, coconut and almonds.

From dough into about 1 inch balls and slightly flatten the balls.  Place on the cookies sheet covered with parchment paper.

Bake the cookies for about 14 minutes.

The cookies should be done when they are golden brown around the edges and just barely set in the center.
