Everett's Famous Chocolate Chip Cookies

Every time my son makes these, I exclaim, "Best cookies ever! You could sell these!"

1 cup butter
1 cup peanut butter
2 cups brown sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp baking soda
2 cups whole wheat flour
3 cups oatmeal
2 cups chocolate chips
1 cup coconut

Heat oven to 375F. 

In a large bowl, mix ingredients in the order they are written. 

Use an ice cream scoop to spoon cookie dough onto ungreased baking sheet. 

Use a fork to slightly flatten them.

Bake for 15 minutes.

Of course, you can make these smaller; just keep an eye on them in the oven, as they might not take as long to bake, maybe 8 to 10 minutes.


For this batch, I replaced 1 cup of the chocolate chips with 1 cup of raisins. I rolled balls quite small (using only a heaping teaspoon of dough), flattened them gently with a fork and baked them 15 minutes so they'd get brown and crisp.
