One of the best things about Loaded Cowgirl Cookies is that there isn’t just one way to make them.
Chocolate Coconut
Use dark chocolate chips and extra coconut for a rich, almost candy-bar-inspired version.
Cranberry Pecan
Add dried cranberries for a sweet-tart contrast to the buttery pecans.
Chocolate Toffee
Add toffee bits along with semisweet chocolate chips.
This version is seriously decadent.
Peanut Butter
Replace some of the chocolate chips with peanut butter chips.
Chocolate + peanut butter + oats?
Yes, please!!
Extra Nutty
Use a combination of pecans and walnuts for even more crunch.
