You'll find everything in these cookies except the kitchen sink. Thanks to TURPTOO for posting this recipe, which we love to have with our other Christmas cookies.

Prep Time: 25 minutes

Cook Time: 13 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup butter
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 3-1/3 cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cream of tarter
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup quick-cooking* oats
  • 1 cup rice krispies
  • 1 cup flaked coconut
  • 1 cup butterscotch chips
  • 1 cup raisins**
  • 1 cup chopped pecans

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease 2 cookies sheets. Cream butter oil and sugars. Add eggs, one at a time. Then add vanilla. In a separate bowl, combine flour, salt, cream of tarter and baking soda with wire whisk. Gradually stir into creamed mixture. Stir in remaining ingredients. Drop by level tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart on cookies sheets. Bake for 11 to 13 minutes or until browned. Cool on sheet for 2 minutes. Remove to wire rack for complete cooling. Makes about 12 dozen.

*I prefer to use regular oats.
**I don't care for raisins so I used twice the amount of nuts.
