Twelve Days of Christmas Cookies: Chewy Oatmeal Cowboy Cookies

3 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tsp salt
1 ½ cups (3 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 ¼ cups sugar
1 ¼ cups brown sugar, packed
3 eggs
1 Tbs vanilla extract
3 cups semisweet chocolate chips
3 cups rolled oats
2 cups sweetened flaked coconut
2 cups chopped pecans or walnuts

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.

In a medium bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl (stand mixer preferred) , cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add eggs and vanilla and beat lightly until just mixed. Beat in flour mixture until just combined. Gently beat in chocolate chips, oats, coconut, and nuts.

Use a medium cookie scoop to drop cookies about 2” apart on prepared baking sheets.

Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are barely light brown. Cool for 2-3 minutes on baking sheet, then remove cookies to wire rack to cool completely.

Makes 6-7 dozen cookies
