Recipes Desserts Cookies Drop Cookie Recipes Cowgirl Cookies 4.7 (30) 25 Reviews 7 Photos These cowgirl cookies are reminiscent of a white chunk macadamia nut cookie but better. You can use slivered almonds instead of macadamia nuts; they are a more economical alternative. Follow the baking directions; the cookies can be a little tricky to get right on the first sheet. Unless the oven is preheated, they might not turn out. Note that these cookies don't bake well on insulated cookie sheets.
