Boot Scootin’ Holiday Favorite Cow Pie Cookies

 

As some of you may know, my daughter is a chef and is always coming up with interesting recipes.  I asked her to think up a recipe for Cowboy cookies and she did.  These yummy cookies are now a family favorite. My daughter wasn’t thrilled when I called them Cow Pies, but the name stuck and it makes the grandkids giggle.  Enjoy and have a Merry Christmas.

It was just his luck to have a run-in with a trigger-happy damsel.

  1. Merry Christmas. Oh what a wonderful recipe. I love the name. Brings back so many wonderful memories. Thank you for sharing and please thank your daughter for coming up with these.

  2. Margaret, these sound wonderful! And how great to have a chef in the family! I wish I could just make up a good recipe like that–I have to have a “RECIPE” to follow when I make anything. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas!

  3. Thank you for sharing the cookie recipe, it sounds delicious! I love the Thumbprint jam cookies and I also like the Hershey Kiss cookies. May you and your family have a Very Merry and Blessed Christmas.

  4. I love gingerbread cookies and only make them at Christmas time. Bourbon Balls are a family favorite and I usually make multiple batches for everyone every year. I always look forward to mincemeat pie, the doctored version.

  5. I love making all sorts of fudge! Lots of flavors. Today I made chocolate, Raspberry chocolate, orange cream, Butterscotch, and Rocky Road.
