How to Make Cajun Cowboy Cookies
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) of shortening, ½ cup of local honey, and ¾ cup packed light brown sugar and ¾ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for a Cajun kick!), and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Stir in 3 cups rolled oats and 2 cups chocolate chips.
- Drop by rounded tablespoons (tbsp) onto ungreased baking sheets.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
