What’s more “Texan” than cows? You’ll see plenty of ‘em pretty much anywhere you go in Texas — along the highway fence-line or out in the pasture. Well, lots of cows leads to lots of cow patties. It’s just the way it is!
But, to brighten your day, there’s a much better outlook on the old cow patty. As a matter of fact, there’s a fantastic recipe for cookies that resemble cow patties! Hilarious and delicious all at the same time. True to Texas size and humor. You just have to taste these to believe how good they are!
