Reese Witherspoon's Cowboy Cookies


These cookies have a lot of ingredients, and you can alter them to your liking. I left out the coconut because it is not my favorite, but I think next time I will try them with it.

These cookies have a lot going on and are perfect for people that like a variety of flavors all at once like me.

I can honestly say I have not had a cookie like this one before.  Check them out.

Ingredients:
    3 cups all purpose flour
    1 tablespoon baking powder
    1 tablespoon baking soda
    1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
    1 teaspoon salt
    1 1/2 cups light brown sugar
    1 1/2 cups sugar
    1 tablespoon vanilla extract
    1 1/2 cups softened butter
    3 eggs
    2 cups old fashioned rolled oats
    2 cups Rice Krispies cereal
    2 cups shredded coconut
    1 1/2 cups chopped pecans
    1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F.

2.  In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. In a separate mixing bowl, cream together the brown sugar, granulate sugar, vanilla extract, and butter with a mixer until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, to the butter mixture and mix well before adding the next egg. In batches, add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and mix until just combined. With a spatula or wooden spoon, fold in the oats, Rice Krispies, coconut, pecans, and chocolate chips.

3.  Using a spoon or a small scoop, drop spoonfuls of dough onto a cookie sheet about 1 1/2 inches apart. Place the cookie sheet in the freezer for about 15 minutes. Take directly from the freezer to the oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes until golden brown. Bake them slightly less if you like chewier cookies, longer if you like them crispy.

makes about 36 cookies
