From coconut chocolate chip saucepan bars to coconut monster cookies, I’ve shared many a recipe for cookies featuring the chocolate-coconut combination. I’m not gonna lie, it’s one of my favorite cookie combos.

Not wanting to dive right into work on a Monday, I flipped through a few recipe books to see what I could easily make and bake…and if lucky, freeze for later indulging. When I found this recipe for cowboy cookies and noticed chocolate chips, coconut and oatmeal in the ingredients list, I was sold.

Though their official name is simply cowboy cookies, by the time the dough was done it nearly overflowed from my KitchenAid mixer. I realized I had more than a single batch but not quite a double batch; that’s when the name “large batch cowboy cookies” was born.

Not that I’m complaining…more to hide in the freezer!

These large batch cowboy cookies are perfect for summer get-togethers because the recipe makes just over 6 dozen (using my favorite medium cookie dough scoop) and they’re both kid and grownup friendly. They also freeze really well so you can easily bake a few dozen, freeze and defrost them the day of the party. No one will know the difference!

I didn’t add pecans because we have friends with nut allergies, but if you’re nut allergy free, by all means go for it! I love walnuts and pecans in cookies and brownies!
