Have you ever heard of Texas Cowboy Cookies? I hadn’t until a few weeks ago. I’ve even lived in Texas for 2 years, by golly, Isn’t everyone a cowboy there?
I’ve had the wonderful pleasure of working with the teenaged youth of my church congregation for 3 years now. I work with the girls, and boy do I love them! They all know that I have a love of baking, and have gotten to partake in quite a few of my treats.
I even taught about 10 of them at once how to decorate cakes. Note to self, never use chocolate cake as a base when teaching young girls how to decorate cakes. One girl got crumbs in her frosting so badly, that it looked like a cookies and cream frosting. She owned it though and totally went for it. I was super impressed. I would totally would have cried if it had been me.
Several of these girls have also taken turns babysitting for my kids. It’s been wonderful to know so many fantastic sitters. It sure makes going out on a date so much easier. Just a few weeks ago, one of my usual girls who comes, showed up and I asked her what I always do, “have you baked anything good lately?” She is quite the excellent little baker. She said she had been busy baking Texas cowboy cookies. Say, what?! I was really intrigued, especially when she divulged that there were cornflakes in the recipe.
I gathered all of my ingredients a week later, and made them. This cookie may have become my new favorite cookie! They are so flavorful, and cornflakes add this incredible texture. The cornflakes add a crispness, but also a chewiness. Then you add coconut, pecans, chocolate chips, and peanut butter chips. Girl. They are insanely good. The best thing about them – they are HUGE! These are similar in size to what you would order from a cookie shop. So instead of ordering a box of cookies, make these!
