Ingredients

  • 2 cups butter
  • 2 cups white sugar
  • 2 cups packed brown sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 6 cups quick cooking oats
  • 2 cups chocolate chips
  • 2 cups chopped and toasted walnuts
  • 1 cup coconut
  • 1 cup raisins

Method

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.
  • In a very large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar and white sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Combine the flour, salt and baking soda; stir into the sugar mixture until well incorporated. Mix in oats, then stir in the chocolate chips, nuts, coconut and raisins. Drop by heaping teaspoonfuls onto the prepared cookie sheets.
