Cowboy Cookies. Loved the cookies and so did the rest of the family. I used walnuts because that is the nut I had. I also added chopped dried cherries to the batter when I added the nuts and coconut. All you need is a cold glass of milk. In a large bowl, with an electric mixer, cream the shortening, granulated sugar, and brown sugar.

Add eggs and the vanilla and beat until well blended. Cowboy Cookies are like a kitchen sink Chocolate Chip Cookie meets Oatmeal Cookie with lots of mix-ins or like a Monster Cookie without the peanut butter and m&ms.
