I made 2 of these and in both cases I had to go through and scoop out the nuts because there was not enough room for the flour (of course it makes a big mess cause I had already tried adding the flour and the chips). That is even after following another posters suggestion and only using 1/2 cup of chocolate chips. I used mini chips as well because they compact better. It was somewhat frustrating I have to say. -
These are great tasting cookies. Thanks for posting. -
Great cookies! My kids loved them. And, I was able to use up extra ingredients left from holiday cookies. Never put the mix in a jar... just made them at home. -
Everybody loves these cookies, perfect gift.

Wow!! These are delicious cookies. I chose this recipe because all the other "cowboy cookie" recipe had coconut and my kids do not like coconut. These cookies were perfect and easy to make. I will keep this recipe and make up batches to put in jars this Holiday season for gifts. Thanks for the wonderful recipe!

I made them gluten free by substituting gf all purpose flour (bobs red mill) adding a pinch of xanthum gum and using gf quick oats. I also used Nestle Chocolate chunks semi sweet instead of the morsels. Yum!
