I've looked for years for the Cowboy Cookie recipe I used to make when my kids were small. It was from a magazine submitted by a reader and I had torn it out and made it for years then moved and lost it. I could have sworn that it made 9 doz but that could be wrong because this looks like it. I love the idea of freezing half especially now that I don't have a house full of kids to help eat them.

Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F. Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt in bowl. In 8-quart bowl, beat butter on medium speed until smooth and creamy, 1 minute. Gradually beat in sugars; beat to combine, 2 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating after each. Beat in vanilla extract. Stir in flour mixture until just combined. Add chocolate chips, oats, coconut and pecans. For each cookie, drop 1/4 cup dough onto ungreased baking sheets, spacing 3 inches apart. Bake for 17 to 19 minutes, until edges are lightly browned; rotate sheets halfway through. Remove cookies from rack to cool. Makes about 3 dozen cookies.
NOTE: For 6 dozen smaller cookies, use 2 tablespoons dough for each. Bake at 350 F for 15 to 18 minutes.

As seen on "Good Morning America." I usually bake half the cookies and freeze the other half of the dough for a rainy day. I did bake the whole batch once, and I had enough to fill my cookie jar, bring some to work and send about a dozen cookies to my in-laws. They are the best chocolate chip cookies ever. The cinnamon sounds like a strange addition, but it actually gives them a wonderful flavor.
