Cowboy Cookies

Laura Bush's Texas Governor's Mansion Cowboy Cookies

3 sticks butter 1-1/2 cups sugar 1-1/2 cups brown sugar 3 eggs 1 tbsp. vanilla 3 cups flour 1 tbsp. baking powder 1 tbsp. baking soda	1 tsp. salt 1 tbsp. cinnamon 3 cups chocolate chips 3 cups oats 2 cups coconut 2 cups pecans
Cream butter and sugars. Add eggs and vanilla. Beat. Add dry ingredients until blended. Stir in remaining ingredients. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes

Some versions of this recipe state that it makes 3 dozen Texas-size cookies. Texas-size cookies use 1/4 cup of dough on an ungreased baking sheet spaced 3 inches apart. Bake Texas-size cookies in 350 degree oven for 17 to 20 minutes. It will also make 6 dozen smaller cookies by using 2 tablespoons of dough for each cookie. Bake the 6 dozen cookies at 350 degrees for 15 to 18 minutes. (The White House must like a moist, chewy cookie version.)
