Cowboy Cookies

A small amount of cinnamon and a bit of extra salt brings out the wholesome flavor of the oats. Toasting the pecans, while not necessary, gives them real oomph! Be sure to use mini chocolate chips, large ones will make the cookies difficult to roll out and cut.

Wrap dough in plastic wrap and chill about 1 hour. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Roll dough out on a lightly floured counter to 1/4 inch thickness and cut with your favorite Ann Clark Ltd. cookie cutters, then transfer cookies onto cookie sheets that have been lined with parchment paper or silicone liners. Bake 8 to 10 minutes, until lightly browned around the edges. Let cookies cool slightly on cookie sheets, and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Decorate with melted chocolate, if desired, before serving.
