Get ready to savor the irresistible charm of Vegan Brown Butter Cowboy Cookies, where the classic American favorite meets a plant-based twist that's simply heavenly.

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Add the softened brown butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer (or use a mixing bowl and hand-held mixer). Mix until creamy.
Add the vegetable oil, flaxseeds, cinnamon, pure vanilla extract, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Mix until combined. .
Add the all-purpose flour, rolled oats and shredded coconut. Stir with a large wooden spoon until incorporated. Fold in the pecans and the vegan chocolate chips
Scoop 2 tbsp of the dough (I like to use a cookie scoop) and form it into a ball. Place it on the cookie sheet and flatten it slightly.
Bake to 12-14 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow the cookies to rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire cooling rack. They will firm up as they cool.
