One of our favorite places to be is in the kitchen. We love to bake and cook and it all stemmed from our mom's passion of cooking. She would find a recipe that she loved, and then make it all year long. We used to say, "That was the year of the cheesecakes" or "That was the year of cinnamon rolls." Some of our fondest memories revolve around cooking together in the kitchen. We love to get together as family and contribute our best recipes for the meal. And we are constantly calling each other saying, "You've got to try this recipe!" We'd like to share our favorite recipes with you. So, happy cooking, happy baking, happy eating, and then happy exercising afterwards to burn those calories!

Cory's Cowboy Cookies

My husband LOVES Cowboy Cookies. I only named this recipe "Cory's Cowboy Cookies" to help me remember that this is his absolute favorite recipe of them. (Found it on allrecipes.com and made some minor adjustments). He loves these fresh from the oven; I love them after they've cooled and the chocolate chips harden again. Either way, you can't go wrong!

Cory's Cowboy Cookies

INGREDIENTS:

- 2 cups all-purpose flour

- 1 tsp. baking powder

- 1 tsp. baking soda

- 1/2 tsp. salt

- 1 cup butter, softened

- 3/4 cup white sugar

- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar

- 1 egg + 1 egg yolk

- 2 tsp. vanilla extract

- 2 cups rolled oats

- 1 1/2 cup chocolate chips

- 1/2 cup butterscotch chips


DIRECTIONS:

Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, and then beat in the egg yolk. With a wooden spoon, stir in vanilla. Gradually stir in dry ingredients. Stir in the rolled oats and chocolate/butterscotch chips. *Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto PAM-sprayed baking sheets. Bake at 375 degrees for 8 to 9 minutes in a 375 degree oven.

*I actually like to make these larger, so I use my Pampered Chef large cookie scoop (click here to see) to make mine. If you don't have one, just double the size you normally would for cookies. I usually fit about 9 to a pan this way.
