Try these Cowboy Quickies loaded with oatmeal, chocolate, butterscotch chips, and raisins if you want cookies.

How Cowboy Quickies Were Invented

Since Mrs. was still sleeping, I checked our freezer inventory list to see if we still had chocolate chips.

The Cowboy Quickies are the works of my imagination, and the recipe turned out pretty darn good.

I wanted to make a signature cookie for Canadian Budget Binder, like a recipe mascot for this blog.

Although these Cowboy Quickies are loaded with chocolate and in tight competition with my fudgy brownie recipe.

Baking With My Mum

I must admit I enjoy baking cookies and have done it since I was younger as we helped my mum in the kitchen.

One of the most viewed recipes on Canadian Budget Binder is my Mum’s Magical 4-Ingredient Sponge Cake.

Can you believe that?

Thousands upon thousands of views and no surprise as the cake tastes so good

However, learning skills from my mum, and dad was something I found intriguing as I grew older, as it was rewarding.

Cowboy Quickies Cookies Are Budget-friendly

I wasted no time pulling the cookies apart and shoving them in my mouth when they came out of the oven.

Cowboy Quickies are easy to make and cost $4.75 to purchase all measured ingredients.

This is a simple cookie recipe to have the kids join in and help make, especially if they like cooking in the kitchen.

Cowboy Quickies Cookie Ingredients 

• 1 cup of your choice of Chocolate Chips
• 1 cup of Butterscotch Chips
• 1/2 cup of sultana or Thompson raisins
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt
• 1 Tablespoon Pure Vanilla Extract
• 1 Teaspoon of Cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon of Nutmeg
• 1 Large egg
• 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
• 1 tbsp of baking powder
• 1 cup of all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons of 2% milk
• 1/2 cup of softened butter
• 1 cup of packed brown sugar
• 1 1/2 cups Large or Quick Cooking Oats

Making Cowboy Quickies Step-by-Step

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or cooking spray so your cookies don’t stick.

Overall, I prefer the parchment or the Silpat mats, a must for every home baker.

I tend to pull all my ingredients out and measure all the ingredients before beginning any recipe.

That also helps to ensure I have all the ingredients on hand.

The last thing you need is to find out you don’t have the ingredients a recipe calls for partway through the process.

Mix the softened butter and the packed brown sugar in a bowl until smooth.

Add the egg, milk, vanilla, and mix until combined and fluffy.

Pour in the quick or large oats, baking soda, spices, flour, and salt and blend until combined.

Add chocolate chips, raisins, and butterscotch chips and mix.

Scoop 2 tablespoons to form a ball, and put on the parchment paper spaced apart by 1 inch.

Don’t Take Your Eyes Off The Oven

You always keep your eyes on cookies when they bake because you don’t want to overbake them.

Another tip is never to bake cookies as they continue to cook once pulled from the oven.

These Cowboy Quickies baked for 8 minutes or until lightly golden, and then I pulled them out. 

This recipe will yield approximately 24 cookies; double it if necessary.

Once cool, you can transfer them to a tray or cooling rack in a few minutes.

Cowboy Quickies For Everyone

These cowboy quickies are always crowd-pleasers at our house, and we often get asked to make them.

Baking is therapeutic, so I’m in the kitchen, often creating new recipes for this blog.
