How To Make not your mothers oatmeal cookies!

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line large cookie sheets with parchment paper.

    In a large bowl (or a mixer with a paddle attachment) cream the butter and brown sugar together. Add eggs vanilla, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Beat until mix is light in color and fluffy
  • 3
    Add flour and oatmeal-combine. Then add chocolate chips cocoanut, and nuts--just to combine
