Title: Kitchen Sink Cookies
Yield: 1

Ingredients

      2 c  brown sugar; (light or dark)
      2 c  granulated sugar
    3/4 c  butter; softened
      1 c  crisco shortening
      4    eggs
      2 ts vanilla
      3 c  all-purpose flour
      2 ts salt
      2 ts baking soda
      3 c  uncooked oats
      2 c  coconut
      2 c  raisins
      1 c  chocolate chips
      1 c  chopped nuts

Instructions

Cream the sugars, butter and shortening together. Beat in eggs and
vanilla. Combine flour, salt and soda; beat into first mixture. Add
remaining ingredients to mixture, combining well. Drop by heaping
teaspoons onto greased baking sheet, 2" apart. Bake in preheated 350x F
oven for about 8 minutes, or until cookies are nicely browned. Let
cookies cool on baking sheet for a minute before removing to cool on rack
or paper towels. Store in an airtight container. Makes 7 dozen cookiesx.
For best results, form dough into rolls, wrap in waxed paper and
chill until firm. Slice and bake as above.

xWell, the original recipe claims it makes 7 dozen. I have had it make
anywhere from almost 10 dozen to 17 dozen normal-sized cookies before,
depending on what ingredients were added or left out. It really works
best if the "additives" are decreased by about 1 cup, as the dough tends
to get too dry to hold together on occasion. Dropping 1/1 to 1 c. oats,
or deleting part of the coconut helps avoid the problem. Alternately, you
could probably add another egg or a little more butter (1/4 cup or less).
