One-Bowl Cowboy Cookies: Loaded, Chewy & Dairy-Free

Recipe by Evelyn Marcella Rivera

These One-Bowl Cowboy Cookies are the ultimate loaded treat. Packed with rolled oats, shredded coconut, crunchy pecans, and dairy-free chocolate chips, they are hearty, chewy, and completely dairy-free. Best of all, they come together in a single bowl for easy cleanup.

  • Yield18 cookies 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 0.66 cup unsalted margarine (150g)
  • 0.66 cup light brown sugar (145g, packed)
  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar (100g)
  • 0.33 cup unsweetened applesauce (80g)
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract (5ml)

Dry Ingredients & Spices

  • 1 Tbsp ground flaxseeds (7g)
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon (5g)
  • 1 tsp baking powder (4.5g)
  • 1 tsp baking soda (5g)
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (270g)
  • 2 cups rolled oats (185g)

Mix-ins

  • 1.33 cups unsweetened shredded coconut (125g)
  • 1 cup raw pecans (100g, chopped)
  • 0.75 cup dairy-free dark chocolate chips (125g)

Instructions

  1. Prep and Preheat: Line a baking tray with parchment paper and preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars: Add the margarine, brown sugar, and granulated sugar to a large bowl. Whip with an electric hand mixer or cream using a fork until smooth.
  3. Add Binders and Flavor: Add the applesauce, flaxseeds, cinnamon, vanilla, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whip again until everything is well combined.
  4. Fold in Dry Ingredients: Add the flour, oats, and shredded coconut. Gently fold these into the dough with a spoon until partially combined.
  5. Add Mix-ins: Fold in the chopped pecans and chocolate chips. Stir again until just combined, being careful not to over-mix.
  6. Shape and Flatten: Scoop up a ¼ cup of the dough and roll it into a ball. Place on the tray and flatten firmly with your palm to create a cookie about 1½ cm thick (these do not spread).
  7. Bake: Place cookies on the tray with 3 cm space between them. Bake in the center rack for 12-14 minutes, or until lightly golden.
  8. Cool: Let the cookies rest for a few minutes on the baking tray to set, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

The cookies do not spread during baking, so flattening them into your desired shape before putting them in the oven is crucial. We used top and bottom heating; if using fan-assisted, monitor closely.
