Kitchen Sink Cookies

You probably wont see a whole lot of baking recipes posted, confession is I don't really like baking.  Well, not as much as I like to cook.  In baking you have to be more exact and well, I like to add a dash here and a smidgen there when I want!  That said, Oatmeal Butterscotch Cookies are perhaps one of my favorite things to bake.

If you've never tried one - do it! I usually follow the recipe on the back of a Nestle Toll House package of Butterscotch Morsels.  You find them waiting to be picked up right next to the more popular chocolate chips in the baking isle.  My hubby had a brilliant idea a few weeks back that we should doctor up the regular Scotchies.  What you'll find below is the modified recipe resulting in what I call Kitchen Sink Cookies because with coconut, butterscotch, chocolate chips, walnuts and oatmeal there isn't much else you can add to this delicious cookie.  Enjoy!

Kitchen Sink Cookies

Ingredients:
1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 cup butter softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2-2 cups oats
1/2 an 11oz package Butterscotch morsels
1/2 an 11oz package chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/2-3/4 cup shredded coconut (find it in the baking isle)

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Combine four, baking soda, salt and cinamon in a bowl.  In a separate bowl beat with an electric mixture the butter, sugars, eggs and vanilla extract.  Once that is combined, gradually beat in the dry mixture.

Stir in remaining ingredients.  You'll want to do each ingredient separate which will make it easier to combine. The mixture will be very thick and chock full of yumminess!  Try mix with spoon (at least I always do).  Drop tablespoon amounts onto ungreased cookie sheets and back for about 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Cool for a few minutes and then move to wire rack to finish cooling.  Now enjoy!!!!
