#275: Kitchen Sink Cookies


Do you like crunchy, crispy large cookies?  Who doesn't right?!  Well if you are one of those cookie lovers, then you NEED to try this one.  There were several left over from Chloe's birthday party and I could have sent them home with her Uncle "Cheesehead" Mike (sorry Mike!), but decided to save the extras and send to her to share with her friends at school on Monday.  (Let's be honest, I figured if I saved them for school I wouldn't have to make something else tomorrow...aka lazy!) 

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup packed light-brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 package (12 ounces) semisweet chocolate morsels
2 cups shredded coconut (I used about 3/4 c and no one could tell they were in it)
1 1/2 cups old-fashioned oats
1 1/2 cups mixed jumbo raisins (I omitted)

Heat oven to 350 Degrees F. In a large bowl, beat butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar on medium speed. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Beat in vanilla. On low speed, beat in flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt and nutmeg.

Stir in chocolate morsels, coconut, oats and raisins. Drop batter by 1/4-cupfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets (parchment paper worked fabulously), about 2 inches apart. Press to flatten. Bake at 350 Degrees F. for 25 minutes or until light brown around edges. Transfer to wire racks to cool completely.  (Watch these cookies!  If you don't make them as big as they are supposed to be they naturally won't take as long to cook.  Ask me how I know!)
