Can I make these without oats?
You can, but the oats are a signature part of what makes a Cowboy Cookie thick and chewy. Without them, you’ll get a more standard chocolate chip cookie.
Can I use quick oats instead of rolled oats?
Yes, but rolled oats give better texture. Quick oats will make the cookie slightly denser.
Why did my cookies spread too much?
Your butter may have been too soft or melted. Make sure it’s softened, not liquid — and try chilling the dough before baking.
Can I make these smaller?
Absolutely! Use a regular cookie scoop and reduce baking time to 8–10 minutes.
