Cowgirl Cookies

Cowgirl Cookies

These cookies are reminiscent of a white chunk macadamia nut cookie but better. Using slivered almonds instead of macadamia nuts is a more economical alternative. Follow baking directions. The cookies can be a little tricky to get right on the first pan. Unless the oven is preheated, they might not turn out. Note that these cookies don’t bake well on airbake pans.

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups margarine, softened
  • ¾ cup white sugar
  • 2 ¼ cups packed brown sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons almond extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour

  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups regular rolled oats
  • 1 ½ cups sweetened flaked coconut
  • 4 (1 ounce) squares white chocolate, chopped
  • 1 (3.5 ounce) jar coarsely chopped macadamia nuts

Directions

Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease two cookie sheets.

Step 2
Cream the margarine together with the white sugar and brown sugar in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time until thoroughly blended. Mix in the vanilla and almond extracts.

Step 3
Stir the flour, baking soda, salt, and rolled oats together in a mixing bowl until well blended. Stir the flour mixture into the sugar mixture. Mix in the coconut, white chocolate, and macadamia nuts until evenly blended. Drop by tablespoonfuls 1 inch apart on prepared cookie sheets.
