Cowboy Cookies

"We're not sure why these are called Cowboy Cookies - perhaps for their homespun, sturdy, trail-mix qualities - but they may just be the best of the chocolate chip cookie genre. Moosewood sisters Susan Harville and Nancy Lazarus have made them since childhood to rave reviews and have given out the recipe over the years like a pyramiding chain letter. You may have it already. If not, you'll be glad you do now. Cowboy Cookies appeal to a wide range of people. We sent an enormous box of them to Moosewood cook Tony Del Plato while he was working with Navajo and Hopi people in Big Mountain Arizona. By return post we received a brief and to-the-point message: 'Send more cowboys, please. We love to eat them up. Signed, the Indians'" --Moosewood Restaurant Book of Desserts -- posted by Lizzymommy
