More Cookies For Santa

Blog post #398 of 365

More cookies for Santa or for my neighbors or for me. These are good. I've made them before and they are delicious!

Everything but the kitchen sink cookies!

What you'll need:
1 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup (room temp) nut butter (not what you think, I'm allergic to peanuts so I use almond or sunflower but you can use what you like)
1/2 butter (room temp)
3 eggs
4 1/2 cups rolled oats
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 cup coconut flakes
1/2 cup chocolate chips (You can use white chocolate, carob or M&Ms if you like)
1/2 cup chopped pretzels
1/2 cup cranberries (original recipe calls for raisins but I don't like raisins but you can use what you like)
1/2 chopped nuts of choice (I use raw almonds and raw cashews)

What you'll do:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Cover cookie sheet with parchment paper
Cream together butter, nut butter, and sugars in a large bowl
Add eggs one at a time until mixed well
Stir in oats and baking soda
Stir in coconut flakes, chocolate, pretzels, fruit, and nuts until well combined
Drop by rounded tablespoon full on to prepared cookie sheet
Bake 11 to 13 minutes or until set around the edges (If you cook longer it will be a puck and not a cookie.)
Cool 2 minutes on the cookie sheet and then move to cooling rack to cool completely
Store in an airtight container

Note: If you don't like one of the listed goodies change it. Your kitchen your choice! Just remember if you remove something replace the volume with something else.
