Cowboy Cookies

Hello! It seems like a long time since I posted. I've been pretty busy with school and sewing, as usual I have more projects going on than I can safely handle (do I have six or was it seven?). Anyway, I decided to bake cookies this morning so here is a recipe for you.

Cowboy Cookies

Wet and Sweet Ingredients:
1 cup Shortening

1/2 cup Sugar

1/2 cup Brown Sugar

1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

1/4 cup Peanut Butter

1 Egg

Dry Ingredients:

1/4 teaspoon Salt

1/4 teaspoon Baking Powder

1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda

1 cup Flour

Fun Ingredients:

Raid the pantry and see what you find!

Today I used 1/2 cup each of oatmeal, crushed bran cereal, raisins and milk chocolate chips. I have also seen them made with dried cranberries, macadamia nuts and white chocolate chips.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place the Wet and Sweet ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Add the Dry ingredients and mix well. Add your Fun ingredients and mix again. Drop by the spoonful on a baking sheet and bake for ten minutes. Let sit on baking sheet for five minutes before removing.

Yield: About 2 Dozen
