Classic Cookies - Cowboy Cookies

After crossing the Rio Grande, we went off the beaten path in search of the fabled "space ship houses." Instead, we came across a group of cowboys who invited us to share their campfire meal. As we swapped stories, the cowboys proudly presented us with their famous "Cowboy Cookies" for dessert. These hearty treats, they explained, dated back to the early cattle drive days, when cowboys would bake them over open flames to sustain themselves on long journeys across the frontier. The recipe, passed down through generations, combined oats, nuts, and just the right amount of sweetness to provide a burst of energy in every bite. With each delicious morsel, we could almost taste the rugged history and frontier spirit infused in these humble cookies. As the sun dipped below the horizon, we bid farewell to our cowboy hosts, our palates and imaginations equally satisfied by this unexpected culinary encounter on the open range.
