Cowboy Cookies

These tasted good (ingredients include chocolate chips, toasted pecans and coconut), but they were such a pain to make that I don't know that I'd bother again. The dough was extremely thick and sticky, but somehow also very loose. I hovered over the cookie sheets for at least 20 minutes trying to get the blobs of dissolving dough and mix-ins to hang together long enough to pop them in the oven. Also, the dough was so stiff that it was difficult to fold in and mix the ingredients properly. Some cookies were all chocolate chip.

I thought for sure that after all of that the cookies would be a mess, but somehow in the baking and cooling process they firmed up nicely.

Still, for me they were too much hassle.

**Having said all of that, everyone at work gave them the thumbs up, so I've bumped up the rating. The end result is what matters most.

Equipment needed: cookie sheets, grinder for pecans(if they are whole) and flax seed, bowls
