Sometimes the simplest of cookie recipes are the most delicious cookie recipes!  In most of the world I think these are known as Oatmeal Scotchies (or something like it), but since I am kind of obsessed with everything cowboys… I’ve named them Cowboy Cookies.  I’ve been making these cookies for years, and I love them with butterscotch chips… but there are some chocolate chip purists out there who may shun the butterscotch chip idea.  Just give them some chocolate instead!

These cookies make great lunch stuffers for school or camp.  My son has a couple more torturous weeks of school left, so I have these tucked into the freezer for his bagged lunches.  But once he’s finished (and officially a high schooler!!!!), he’ll find use for these in the million camps he’s attending this summer.  Though I have spotted my husband sneaking some frozen cookies too!

So make these for yourself… or for your family… or for a friend… or for your favorite cowboy… Cowboy Cookies!
