I bought this amazing coconut chocolate chip cookie at a bakery in the Phoenix airport and wanted to try to replicate it at home. This recipe was definitely a winner. I received so many compliments on the cookies. If I make it again I would have to plan on giving some away or else I would eat them all!

We love Cowboy cookies in my family-we've made several different versions. I must say this is one of the best ones. We love coconut, so next time I will add more. My husband doesn't like nuts, so we add butterscotch chips instead. LOVE!

With all the sugar, they are very sweet. I made them with 1/2 semi-sweet and 1/2 white chocolate. I didn't have pecans, so I used walnuts. If you use a small cookie scoop, (I have the Pampered Chef small scoop) you will get about 8 1/2 dozen.

One of the first Oatmeal Cookie recipes that doesn't have raisins and that makes me happy. I'm not a big fan of coconut so I cut the amount down a bit. Not bad at all.

Friends and family loved these. I even thought they were really good and I am not a fan of coconut. Will definitely make these again.

My mom makes these every week in the summer for our local Farmer's Market. They are always very popular!

I added raisins as well and every time I bake them they disappear very quickly.
