- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda

- 0.5 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 0.75 cup chopped pecans

Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, baking soda, cinnamon, Cajun seasoning, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together using a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
Step 4
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
Step 6
Use a spatula to fold in the dark chocolate chips, pecans, and shredded coconut until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 7
Scoop tablespoons of dough and drop them onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Step 8
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown but the centers are still soft.
Step 9
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Serve and enjoy your Cajun Cowboy Cookies with a cold glass of milk or a hot cup of coffee!
