Print Recipe

The Ina Garten Cowboy Cookies are thick, chewy, and packed with flavor. These hearty cookies combine oats, chocolate chips, coconut, brown sugar, butter, and nuts, creating a cookie that is rich, textured, and satisfying. Cowboy cookies are known for their generous mix-ins and slightly rustic appearance, making them perfect for snacks, dessert platters, or afternoon treats. The dough comes together quickly, and the cookies bake in about 12–14 minutes, producing golden edges with soft centers.
