Irish Cream Cappuccino Cowboy Cookies

Irish Cream Cappuccino Cowboy Cookies are thick, chewy and delicious!  They are very versatile because you can add nuts, coconut, a mixture of different baking chips or even bits of toffee. 

This cookie recipe is one of my most requested recipes.  They never last long at our house, and every one wants our recipe.
 

Ingredients

1 c. butter, softened 

1 c. white sugar 

1 c. packed brown sugar 

2 eggs, room temperature

1 tsp. vanilla extract 

2 Tbs. Irish Cream Cappuccino (optional)

1 tsp. baking powder 

1 tsp. baking soda 

1/2 tsp. salt

2 c. all-purpose flour

2 c. rolled oats 

1 c. semisweet chocolate chips or bittersweet, white chocolate or even butterscotch chips
1 c. raisins (optional)

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°. Grease the baking sheets. 
 

In a large bowl, cream together the butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. 

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then add the vanilla. 

Stir in the Irish Cream Cappuccino, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and flour. Mix to combine. 

Add the rolled oats. 

Stir in the chocolate chips and/or raisins by hand, using a wooden spoon.

Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheets. You can also roll the dough between the palms of your hands to form round balls for a more even cookie.

Bake for 6 to 10 minutes.  Remove from the oven when edges are golden. 

Allow cookies to cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes before placing them on a cooling rack.
