Good Morning Everyone,

Months ago I constructed a new oatmeal cookie :-) I love to experiment and I had some fresh berries on hand. So I came up with " Not your Average Oatmeal Cookie" :-) It was soo good.  Now if you do not want to add the chocolate chips you can substitute it for something else.  Now that its fall its so much better to turn the oven on :-) I really hope you enjoy this cookie recipe :-)

 

Not your Average Oatmeal Cookie

3/4 cup butter, softened

3/4 cup white sugar

3/4 cup packed light brown sugar

2 eggs

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 3/4 cups rolled oats

1/4 C. Walnuts

1/4 C. chopped cranberries

1/4 C chopped blueberries

1/4 C chocolate chips

1/4 C Raisins

Instead of the 1 Tsp of Vanilla I use 1 tsp of Coconut Extract

Directions

In large bowl, cream together butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs and Coconut extract until fluffy. Stir together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Gradually beat into butter mixture. Stir in oats and raisins, blueberries, cranberries, chocolate chips,walnuts. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets.

Bake 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown.
