Great gift idea I received them and really enjoyed. Crunchy and delicious with milk!

I loved these cookies! We didn't have pecans so I used peanuts which worked just as well. However, my kids weren't a big fan of the peanuts. Next time I used slivered almonds and they loved that. Great cookie!

I made the recipe exactly as written, then formed the batter (yes, it is very loose and dry) into large balls in my hand and flattened them a bit before putting them on the pan. This recipe made 22 large cookies. We enjoyed the flavor of this cookie very much, but my husband didn't like that they seem so fragile to hold, they can easily fall apart. There's very little liquids in this recipe, so I am assuming that is why they are so crumbly. But still very tasty!

I was making this for a gift and messed up the first batch by not pressing down after each layer... The flour wouldn't all fit in the jar. As a result, I had to make some for myself, and WOW... They are delicious!!

This was a fun gift for our family to make together and give to friends and neighbors. All of my children ages 13, 10 and 6 enjoyed participating. We used walnuts instead of pecans for some of the jars.

I just received a jar of Cowboy cookies for Christmas and they were awesome! What a great gift to give to someone that like homemade desserts. I may give this as a present next year.

Wow, these were just fabulous! I made these for Christmas gifts, and of course, had to keep a jar for us! Made them tonight -- best cookies ever! I ended up with 24 cookies using the medium cookie scoop. I left out the pecans and used chocolate chunks rather than chips. The jar was really full (which is why the nuts were skipped). Easy recipe. Very nice looking cookies. They stayed as mounds and didn't spread out at all. They tasted just fabulous! Brown sugar and oatmeal, my favorites. And the chocolate chunks added a little extra touch. These have become our new favorites. I recommend them!

These are fabulous cookies.... I had to reduce the oats to 1 1/4, chips to 1/2 and nuts to 1/3 only because I used old mason jars with glass tops with wire latches (not ones with screw on lids) and they must be smaller because I couldn't fit everything as here. After making those adjustments they fit perfect. But nonetheless I wanted to make them to see what I was giving away and to find out what they tasted like. One of the best cookies I have made in a while. Thank you!! Cooked for 11 mins and they turned out a chewy golden brown. Oh and I recommend using margarine not butter, I used smart balance, real butter tends to make cookies crispy/dry.

These cookies are delicious and easy to make but I'm holding back one star because....AS WRITTEN IT WON'T FIT IN A 1 QT JAR!!!! I bought my jars at Michaels today and measured the inside to be sure. I also packed in the ingredients but still ended up having to remove some chocolate chips. Next time, I'll cut back on (or omit) the pecans. I baked the recipe yesterday (no jar!) to test it and thought they were really good - nice thick cookies. Just don't over bake them - light golden brown on the bottom is good.
