These could also be called everything-but-the-kitchen-sink-cookies. Adapted from Pioneer Woman's recipe.

Yield: approx 2 1/2 dozen cookies
Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 15 min

Monster Cookies

2 sticks soft butter
1/2 c sugar
1 c brown sugar (if you only have white sugar, just use that plus 1-2 tsp molasses)
2 eggs
1 T vanilla
1 1/2 c flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 c oats
1/2 c M & M's or Reese's pieces candies
1/2 c toasted pecans or almonds or walnuts
1/2 c chocolate chips
1/2 c toasted unsweetened coconut
2 1/2 c corn flakes (or any other neutral tasting cereal you have on hand)

Preheat oven to 375. Cream butter and sugars, add eggs, vanilla, mix. Add baking soda, baking powder, salt and mix well, blend in flour. You'll need to stir the rest of the ingredients in as this batter gets pretty thick. No need to overmix - just make sure everything is well incorporated. Scoop about 2 Tblsp of dough onto cookie sheet and bake for 14-18 min. (less time for a chewier cookie). These are a great crowd pleaser! Trust me.
