Father’s Day is coming right up and if your husband is anything like mine, he LOVES sweets. It only seemed fitting to whip up a batch of these cowboy cookies for my husband. He is, after all a bit of a cowboy. My husband use to rodeo back in the day and over the past few years those cowboy roots have returned and we’ve found ourselves the proud owner of a few horses.

My horse experience is very minimal. When I say minimal, I’m talking the extent of my experience goes back to my 1st grade best friends birthday party where we had a pony ride. So, as you can see this cowboy business is new to me. However, baking cookies is something I am familiar with.

These cookies are crispy in the outside and chewy in the inside, packed with flavor. Coconut, pecans, oats and chocolate chips with the added flavor depth of cinnamon make these a flavorful dessert.
