Ingredients

  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup margarine
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon butter-flavored extract
  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup quick-cooking oats
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 cup butterscotch chips
  • 1 cup crispy rice cereal (such as Rice Krispies(R))
  • 1/2 cup candied fruit, cut into small pieces
  • 1/2 cup shredded coconut

Method

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Combine brown sugar, white sugar, margarine, and oil in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until creamy. Add egg, salt, baking soda, cream of tartar, vanilla extract, and butter flavor; mix well. Add flour and mix well. Stir in oats, chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, rice cereal, candied fruit, and coconut; cookie dough will be difficult to stir.
  • Drop cookie dough onto baking sheets using spoons or a small ice cream scoop.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until edges are set and lightly golden, 8 to 12 minutes. Transfer to wire racks to cool.
