Method

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Combine and sift flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a separate bowl, combine oatmeal, bran flakes, pecans, coconut, chocolate chips and cranberries. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, cream the butter. Add both sugars. Add egg, oil, and vanilla.
  • Stir flour mixture into creamed mixture, blending well -- I add a third at a time.
  • Add chocolate chips mixture.
  • Drop by heaping teaspoonful onto ungreased cookie sheet. [The amount of cookies you get will depend on how large you make them.].
