Ingredients
  

Cookie Ingredients
  • 1 1/4 cups packed brown sugar
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt Optional
  • 3 cups rolled oats
  • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts Optional
  • 1 cup shredded coconut

Equipment

  • Large bowl
  • Stand mixer
  • Glass mixing bowl
  • Cookie sheets
  • Wire rack

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  2. Cream together the brown sugar, butter, and white sugar in a large bowl until the mixture is smooth.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Stir in the milk and vanilla extract.
  4. Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir this dry mixture into the sugar mixture until it is well blended.
  5. Stir in the oats, chocolate chips, walnuts, and coconut until everything is evenly distributed in the dough.
  6. Drop the dough by rounded spoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes for a chewy cookie, or 14 minutes for a firmer cookie.
  7. Cool the cookies for 1 minute on the cookie sheets. Then, move them to a wire rack to cool completely. Store the cooled cookies in a tightly sealed container.

Baking these cookies is a simple way to create memories with your children. Adjust the baking time based on whether you prefer a soft or firm texture in your final cookie.
