I make a ton of cookies over the holidays so I have to start early and buy all my sugar/chocolate in bulk.
First recipe:
Kitchen Sink Cookies
Yields about 4 dozen large cookies. The best way to eat them is warm with some vanilla ice cream between them...and some Baily's Irish Creme on the side.
Lots of ingredients but they’re simple to make.
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup firmly packed light-brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats (The can with the ugly dude on it)
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup sweetened flake coconut
1 cup raisins (I use Craisins cause I like cranberries, use what you like...or omit completely.)
1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
1. Preheat oven to 350°. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a very large bowl with a wooden spoon, beat butter, sugar and brown sugar together until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. Beat in eggs, one at a time, until well blended. Stir in vanilla.
3. In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Gradually stir into butter mixture until well blended. Add oats, chips, coconut, raisins (or Craisins), and walnuts, and stir until well blended.
4. Drop batter by heaping tablespoons or with a 1 ounce ice-cream scoop onto silpat about 2 inches apart. Press tops down with the bottom of a glass to flatten cookies evenly. Bake until golden, about 16 to 18 minutes. Cool on pan for 2 minutes. Remove from pan, and finish cooling completely on wire rack.
5. Eat one cookie for every one you plan on giving away:)
