My Favorite Cookies: Alison’s Cowgirl Cookies
August 26, 2010
Who isn’t looking for an awesome cookie recipe? The only problem I had with these was trying to give them a name. They are filled with my favorites: peanut butter, chocolate chips, crispy rice cereal (Rice Krispies), and they are fabulous. We were loving them when they came out of the oven, and my daughter took some to school, and she said kids were almost fighting over them. Try them, and you will see exactly what I mean.

The rice krispies help distinguish these cookies, and they are incredible. The dough is good too - http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Cookie-Dough-Mafia/141629022539405?ref=ts

I will be making these this weekend at our friend's house. Hubs will have to go outside because he is allergic. I can't bake with PB when he is around:) Love these!

These look and sound really good! :) I think Kid #1 will like the name of these -- I'll change it to "Cowboy" just to make him giggle.

The oats and rice crispies remind me of an old recipe of my mother's and adding the dark brown sugar makes me want to try this as soon (if not before) I'm back on my feet. After all, it is cookie weather.
Great recipe, thanks, just gave you a shout out on FB and will do so on one of the blogs today.
You are not helping my diet.

My family has made cookies similar to this but without the peanut butter. I think we'd better start using the peanut butter now. They sound delicious.
