CHUCKWAGON Cowboy Recipes
Saddle Bag Cookies
Ingredients:
1 c. shortening
1 c. white granulated sugar
1 c. brown sugar
2 large eggs
2 c. all purpose flour
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ground ancho chile
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 c. steel cut oats
1 c. shredded sweetened coconut
3/4 c. pecans
3/4 c. milk chocolate chips
3/4 c. butterscotch chips
1/4 c. what germ
Preheat oven to 350
In a large bowl, cream sugar and shortening together. Add eggs and beat until just incorporated. Beat in flour, cinnamon, ancho, baking soda, baking powder and salt until dough is uniform and smooth. Fold in oats, coconut, pecans, chips and wheat germ. Pull off a tablespoon sized chunk of dough and roll in between your palms into a ball approximately 1 1/2 " around. Place dough ball on a parchment-lined baking sheet and repeat until tray is full. These cookies spread quite a bit while baking so you will not want to crowd your baking sheet. I only baked 8 cookies at a time on my standard size baking sheets. Bake for approximately 12 minutes or until the edges of the cookies are just beginning to turn a light golden brown.
Yield: Approximately 26 Cookies
