So some people stress bake... Anyway! Cowboy Cookies!
1.25 cups (6.25 ounces) all purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon table salt
Whisk all that together in a bowl.
In a SECOND bowl:
1.5 cups (10.5 ounces) packed light brown sugar
12 tablespoons (1.5 sticks) melted and cooled unsalted butter
1 large egg + 1 large yolk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Whisk all that together until evenly combined, then stir in the flour mixture and whisk until all the dry flour streaks are gone.
1.25 cups (3.75 ounces) old fashioned rolled oats
Stir to combine
1 cup chopped toasted pecans
Stir to combine
1 cup (3 ounces) sweetened shredded coconut
Stir to combine
2/3 cup (4 ounces) semi-sweet chocolate chips
Stir to combine
Spray a 1/4 cup measure with cooking spray and use that to scoop up the dough.
Place 8 cookies 2 inches apart on an unrimmed cookie sheet lined with parchment paper (I used a Good Cook AirPerfect sheet which doesn't require parchment or Silpat or anything!)
Bake at 350° for 8 minutes, rotate the sheet and bake another 8 minutes.
Remove from oven and let sit on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes to finish cooking.
Place cookies on a wire rack to finish cooling and bake the other 1/2 of the cookies, makes 15 to 16 cookies total.
