A number years ago I started making and tweaking cowboy cookies…you know the oatmeal cookies with added coconut and pecans. Yum! However, I had to take these cookies over the top by adding additional goodies. Actually, it was near the holiday season and I wanted to use up all my baking ingredients so I was not tempted by them after the holidays were over.
I knew these cookies were good. However, I had no idea how big a hit these cookies would turn out to be at holiday parties, cookie exchanges, and as gifts to my husband’s clients. Just by adding white chocolate chips, dark chocolate chips, holiday (red and green) chocolate chips, and dried cranberries, I had people raving about these cookies and wanting to pay me to make them some.
Several people asked me what the secret was for making such a great tasting cookie. I have told them that the key is to use quality ingredients like Bob's Red Mill Organic Unbleached All Purpose White Flour.
Why do I like Bob’s Red Mill Organic Unbleached White Flour? One reason is that it is freshly milled from Organic hard red wheat, with both the bran and the germ being removed, and leaving only the endosperm that is made into white flour. It is not enriched with any additives. Secondly, since professional bakers use this same high protein flour; I know it produces light, airy baked goods. It is extremely versatile and perfect for all baking needs.
In addition, Bob’s Red Mill makes Organic Whole Wheat Flour that is stone ground from organic hard red wheat with the bran and germ still intact to make it more nutritious. For those looking for gluten free flours, their Gluten Free 1-to-1 Baking flour makes it easy to transform traditional recipes into gluten free recipes by just replacing regular flour with this blend.
Whichever Bob’s Red Mill flour you choose, the results will be spectacular.

I don’t ever have any trouble with cookies spreading, but these did. The flavor was great, just not pretty to look at. I’ll probably try a recipe with different measures and see if that helps. Sorry.
