COW PIES

Steps:

• Drop by tablespoonfuls onto a foil, waxed paper or plastic wrap lined baking sheet. Chill until ready to serve.

COW PIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Using a mixer, cream the sugar and butter until fluffy, scraping the sides once. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition. Mix in the vanilla.
• Sift together the flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt in a bowl, then add in batches to the mixer, mixing until just combined after each addition. Gently mix in the semisweet, milk and white chocolate chips.
• Using a cookie scoop, add generous 1-tablespoon portions of dough to a baking sheet (about 12 portions). Repeat with the remaining dough and additional baking sheets. Dot the top of each cookie with 2 to 3 chocolate chips if you'd like them to really show up on top. Bake until the cookies are barely done and are still soft and chewy, 9 to 11 minutes. Don't overbake! Let cool on a baking rack.
• Melt the semisweet chocolate in a bowl over a pan of simmering water.
• Dip the cookies one by one into the melted chocolate to coat, then transfer to parchment-lined baking sheets to set.

COW PIES

Steps:

• Melt butter in large sauce pan, add milk, sugar and cocoa powder. Bring to medium boil and boil for 1 minute. Any longer and the sauce will harden too much when cookies set. Any shorter and the cookies may not harden enough.
• Remove from heat and add rolled oats and coconut. (I usually premix the coconut and oats). Mix well with wooden spoon and drop onto parchment or wax paper. You decide on the size of cookies you want. These cookies take about a 1/2 day to a day to set depending on the size.

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, butter, cocoa, milk, and vanilla. Bring to a slow boil and simmer until the sugar is completely dissolved. Remove from the heat.
• Stir in the peanut butter and 2 1/2 cups oats. The mixture should be thick; stir in additional 1/2 cup oats if too runny. Let the mixture stand for about 10 minutes to cool.
• Line a baking sheet with wax paper or parchment paper. Drop the mixture by heaping tablespoonful onto the lined sheet. Let the cookies stand at room temperature for 1 hour to firm up. Store in an airtight container.
