Two reasons why I love this cookie.
1. One batch makes a WHOLE lot of cookies
2. This recipe has the best part of all the other cookies, wrapped up into one
Here we go:
2 c. melted butter
2 c. brown sugar
2 c. white sugar
4 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla
4 c. flour
2 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. baking soda
2 c. rolled oats or quick oats
2 c. corn flakes
1 c. pecans (optional)
1 c. coconut
12 oz. chocolate chips
or 6 oz. chocolate chip and 6 oz. peanut butter chip
Ok, get your mixer out. It doesn't have to be a deluxe, top of the line, professional mixer. Hand mixer, hand-me-down mixer or a whisk and a lot of stamina will suffice. I wouldn't suggest the last option, though.
Cream your butter and sugars well. You can do this on medium speed for about 3 minutes, scraping the sides of the bowl as you go. Next comes the eggs and vanilla. Then mix in the flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Go a cup at a time until it is all blended well. Now, take the mixer off, or the bowl out, whatever. From here on out, you want to use a wooden spoon or spatula.
Add EVERYTHING else, one ingredient at a time, mixing well in between.
Drop dough balls the size of a golf ball on your cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 13 to 15 minutes.
Don't over bake, or your cookies will crumble. Cool on a cooling rake. Be sure and eat a couple of them warm. Enjoy!
"I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete." John 15:11
