Baking GALS - Jon likes Cowboy and Carrot Cookies!

What's baking?

So for 'Team Caring and Sharing' Jon's family said that Cowboy Cookies and Carrot Cookies are two of his favorites. I had never heard of either! Carrot cake - yes, just made one last week, but to make it into a cookie? Ok, so I found a few recipes on-line, but most are sandwich cookies with cream cheese filling in between two cookies- not good for shipping! I did find these from Rachael Ray and allRecipes.com. Has anyone made these before or have a different recipe that they like? Not sure how long they will last and how they will hold up by the time they get to Afghanistan, but I'd like to try a batch.

As for Cowboy cookies, maybe it's a regional thing as no one in this area that I mentioned it to has heard of them. From a quick search it sounds like a chocolate chip cookie with oats, coconut and maybe pecans. Anyone familiar with Cowboy cookies or have a good recipe?
