Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ⅓ cup all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup coconut flakes
2 cups quick oats
2 cups Corn Flake cereal
1 ½ cups chocolate chips
½ cup pecans or nuts of your choice (optional)

Instructions

Begin by preheating your oven to 350° F. In a large mixing bowl, cream together your vanilla extract, butter (softened to room temperature, sugar, and brown sugar).
1 cup unsalted butter, 1 cup sugar, 1 cup brown sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Next, add in the eggs, oats, flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Mix until well combined.
2 large eggs, 1 ⅓ cup all purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 2 cups quick oats, ½ teaspoon salt
Stir in the Corn Flake cereal, coconut flakes, and chocolate chips.
1 cup coconut flakes, 2 cups Corn Flake cereal, 1 ½ cups chocolate chips, ½ cup pecans
Roll into large dough balls. I used about ¼ cup, don't worry if the Corn Flakes get a little crushed. Place on a greased or parchment paper lined baking sheet. I recommend doing four dough balls per baking sheet due to their size.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until edges are golden. Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 to 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
