Gordon Ramsay’s cowboy cookies are oversized, chunky cookies filled with a blend of rolled oats, shredded coconut, chocolate chips, and chopped nuts. These cookies are chewy on the inside, crisp on the outside, and loaded with texture. Ramsay’s version is carefully balanced—not overly sweet, just rich, nutty, and comforting.
1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, softened
¾ cup (150g) brown sugar
½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1¾ cups (220g) all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1½ cups (120g) rolled oats
1 cup (80g) shredded coconut
1½ cups (270g) chocolate chips
1 cup (100g) chopped pecans or walnuts
Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Cream the butter and sugars: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add eggs and vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Mix the dough: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir just until combined.
Fold in the mix-ins: Gently stir in the oats, coconut, chocolate chips, and chopped nuts until evenly distributed.
Scoop the dough: Drop large spoonfuls of dough (about 2 tablespoons) onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake the cookies: Bake for 10–12 minutes or until the edges are golden and the centers look slightly soft.
Cool and enjoy: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
