Solar Recipe: Cowboy Cookies

Makes 24 cookies

Makes 12 cookies

Makes 6 cookies

These are hands down our favorite cookies, and we make them more than we'd like to admit: buttery, chewy, loaded with oats, pecans, and chocolate, finished with a sprinkle of flaky sea salt.

The recipe below is written for a full batch of 24 cookies, but most My Solar Ovens won't fit two dozen cookies at once. We recommend halving the recipe to make 12 cookies, or quartering it down to 6, depending on how much you want to bake at a time. Pick your batch size below and the ingredient amounts will update automatically.
