Loaded Cowboy Cookies Recipe #Choctoberfest

The first ever cowboy cookies I baked were a huge disappointment. The recipe called for Rice Krispies which lost their crispness within hours. It took me over a decade to recover from that fiasco and to make another batch. It was time to give these another shot!

I found the basic recipe for these easy cowboy cookies in the New York Times, attributed to Laura Bush circa 2000.

They were the winner of the Family Circle’s presidential candidates’ wives cookie contest where the Democrat vs Republican competition was moved to the kitchen. I can see why these gems won!
