Cowboy Cookies

Spread the love

Raise your hand if you love a fresh, warm cookie with milk?

I’m raising ~~both of~~ mine! Cookies are one of my favorite sweet treats, easy to make, portable, freezable – they have plenty of great qualities. My absolute favorite recipe for the notorious chocolate chip cookie is this Brown Sugar Chocolate Chip Cookie, they never disappoint! I’m always on the look out for any other really great cookie.

Awhile back when I saw the recipe for these cookies, it shot to the top of my ‘must make list’. I love the texture of this cookie which comes from the corn flakes and quick oats. It’s wonderful and delicious. This recipe makes a load, so there will be plenty to share!
