Notes
For the best texture, ensure the butter is properly softened but not melted. If you prefer chewy cookies, slightly underbake them as they will continue to firm up while cooling. Feel free to customize your Cowboy Cookies by adding different types of nuts, dried fruits, or even coconut flakes.
