My husband stumbled upon a SCRUMPTIOUS cookie recipe online for Laura Bush's Cowboy Cookies. Well, I made them and they were absolutely delicious! I made the larger version of the cookie (a variation noted in the recipe) and told my husband that one cookie is a gift in itself. So, I decided to create a little gift tag for packaging these jumbo morsels...
A Few Notes:
- The recipe calls for a stand mixer. I used a regular electric mixer and my extra large Tupperware bowl. I followed the recipe as noted using the same mixer settings.
- I made the larger cookie version by using my Pampered Chef ice cream scoop which yielded approximately 1/4 cup sized cookies. I baked for 7 minutes, turned, and baked an additional 8 minutes.
- The cookies were wonderful when eaten shortly after removing from the oven. I simply microwaved a cookie for 7-10 seconds to get that same "just from the oven" taste days after they were made.
