Giddy up people of the internet and Happy Cowboy Day!
Having said that, this year we are celebrating with two posts celebrating Cowgirls! First up some OMGZ so delicious Cowgirl cookies. These are amazing. So good – as they should he when they are pretty much 2 types of M&M’s, choc chips and nuts held together by butter and sugar. They also contain oats so they are also (almost) good for you!
We celebrated Cowboy Day a little early this year because a few weekends ago I found myself entertaining children. This does not happen very often at Maison de la retro food so initially, I was at a loss of what to serve.
My go to’s of cocktails and canapes didn’t seem appropriate plus I wanted something I could whip up pretty quickly on a Saturday morning. A quick flick through the interwebs and yee hah! Cowgirl cookies to the rescue!
I’m not a big cookie maker so I was a little nervous about making these. However, a few minutes after these went into the oven that delicious aroma of sweet baking began to fill the house and I was pretty sure I was onto a winner!
Tasting one (well maybe three or four) fresh out of the oven I became even more certain but the proof of these cookies were not in my eating. So I was mildly nervous when the oldest of the kids, nine-year-old Christian approached me, cookie in hand.
“Did you make these?”
“Yep”
“When?”
“This morning”
“Huh…..that must be why they taste so good”
Yippee Kay Yay!!!!
I used this recipe from Bakerella.
And I can recommend it highly. As can the little humans who I made them for.
Child-friendly post over, but stay a while because coming right up is an adults-only tipple and a teeny peek into the life of a real-life Rhinestone Cowgirl.
See you there!
