    I have been making a recipe called Cowboy Cookies my entire adult life and I'm 58. My mom made them too. We don't put coconut in ours and use walnuts and the amounts of ingredients are a little different, but they are a favorite of everyone who tries them!

    Great recipe! Definitely a hit with everyone!! The only thing that was suggested was to change the amount of cinnamon down to 1 1/2 teaspoon.
