Cowboy Cookies

Tomorrow we are hosting a "Bring in Spring" 5 mile run

with our running club,

Teton Trail Runners in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.

I made some "cowboy cookies" for the group.

Ingredients:

2 c. all-purpose flour

1/2 tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. cinnamon

1/2 tsp. salt

Whisk above ingredients in a medium bowl, set aside.

1/2 c. canola oil

1/2 c. butter, softened

1 c. brown sugar

1 c. sugar

2 eggs

1 tsp. vanilla

3 c. oats (quick or old-fashioned)

1 c. chocolate chips

In a large bowl combine oil, butter & sugars with mixer, until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time and mix. Add vanilla, mix. Slowly add flour mixture and stir in. Add oats and chocolate chips and fold in with spatula. Make into rounded cookies and drop onto cookie sheet.

Bake @ 325 for 10 minutes (or until golden and set),

rotating cookie sheet halfway through baking time.
