How to Make Vegan Cowboy Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups rolled oats, 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together ½ cup vegetable oil, ¾ cup granulated sugar, ¾ cup packed brown sugar, ½ cup plant-based milk (almond or soy recommended), 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal mixed with 3 tablespoons water (flax egg), and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, folding until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in 1 cup shredded coconut, 1 cup chocolate chips, and ½ cup chopped pecans.
  6. Drop rounded ¼ cup portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie. Gently flatten slightly with moistened fingers.
  7. Bake for 14-16 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
