Drop & Bake: Using a cookie scoop or two spoons, drop rounded tablespoons of the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten them slightly with the back of a spoon. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
Cool & Enjoy: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Achieving the dreamy, chewy consistency and a burst of flavors in every bite requires a touch of baking know-how. Here are a few secrets to elevate your Cowboy Cookie game:
Cook Note
Room Temperature Butter: This allows for easier mixing and results in a creamier texture.
Fresh Ingredients: Always ensure that your baking soda and baking powder are fresh for the perfect rise.
Chill the Dough: If you have some extra time, refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes. This enhances the flavors and prevents the cookies from spreading too much during baking.
Watch the Oven: All ovens vary slightly. It’s essential to keep an eye on your cookies during the last few minutes to prevent over-baking.
