Week 4 - Laura Bush's Cowboy Cookies and...

Hello all! I am one day late - I try to post on Sundays because I mostly bake on the weekends - but this weekend was busy! I actually made the cookies on Friday because I went to DC to visit some of my college girlfriends! Thanks for a great weekend Kate, Kelly, Katie, Regina, Christen, Katrina and Cristen! I had a wonderful time and hope you guys loved the cookies!

I found this recipe a couple of years ago when living in DC.  The Washington Post puts out a spread each December of new Holiday Cookies - I saved the articles each year I lived there and have made these a few times.  Cowboy Cookies are chocolate chip cookies but with LOTS of extra goodies in them - Coconut, Pecans and Oats - what more could you want?

The recipe can be found here: http://www.christmas-cookies.com/recipes/recipe524.laura-bushs-cowboy-cookies.html

Dena and I made these one year and liked them alot! I got good reviews from the people that I handed them out to this weekend and Kate and I ate quite a few on the drive...

Now....for the weekly confession. I sort of feel like I should make something else this week because I have made these cookies before.  It seems like cheating if I have made something more than three times before. I am attempting to try NEW recipes.  So I might make a banana cream pie with cookie crust this week.  I found the recipe and am going to try to be adventurous one of the nights this week. And because I didn't bring the cookies to work my coworkers missed out on the weekly treat!

Stay tuned! Meanwhile, try the cookies...they are great!
