Time 27m

Yield 4 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 cups margarine, at room temperature (3 sticks)
2 cups brown sugar
2 cups white sugar
4 eggs
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
4 cups unbleached white flour
4 cups old fashioned oats
2 cups hershey's chocolate chips
1 cup coconut
1 cup chopped nuts

Steps:

  • With an electric mixer, whip up the margarine and sugar in a large mixing bowl until fluffy. Add the eggs, vanilla and salt and beat well.
  • Blend the baking soda and baking powder into the flour, either directly in the measuring cup or in a large bowl, and then tap this mixture into the creamed ingredients, mixing slowly. Using a sturdy spoon, mix the rest by hand.
  • Add oats and stir until the dough comes together. Stir in chocolate chips, coconut and nuts.
  • Line a cookie sheet with baking parchment and scoop the dough with a 2-ounce ice cream scoop. Press the top of the cookie dough mound down slightly.
  • Bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 7-12 minutes, until lightly golden in color with tiny cracks on top of the cookies.
