Ingredients
  

  • 1 c. butter
  • 1/2 c. Crisco butter shortening
  • 2 c. brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 T. vanilla
  • 2 c. flour lightly spoon flour into measuring cup, not packed
  • 1 t. baking soda
  • 1/2 t. salt
  • 2 c. oatmeal regular or instant is fine-I prefer regular
  • 2 c. crisp rice cereal
  • 1 c. shredded coconut I like Baker's sweetened coconut
  • 2 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine: butter, shortening, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla. This recipe is done best with a stand mixer.  Check out my Artiste Mixer. Beat at medium speed until well blended.
  • In a medium bowl, combine:  flour, baking soda and salt.  Add gradually to creamed mixture at low speed.
  • Stir in oatmeal, rice cereal, coconut and chocolate chips. You may have to do this with a spoon if your mixer isn't powerful enough.
  • Use a small scoop (about 1 1/4 inches across) to scoop out cookies for 2 Freestyle Smart Points each or a larger scoop (about 1 1/2 inches across) for cookies 4 Freestyle Smart Points each.
  • Place a few inches apart on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. If dough is pretty soft, chill in refrigerator for 15 minutes.
  • Bake at 350° for about 6-8 minutes (for the small ones) or until light brown and just set in the center.
  • Cool on baking sheet for at least 5 minutes, then remove to cooling racks.
  • When completely cool, store in an airtight container.

Notes

  • I like to make this cookie dough, ball it up and flash freeze on a cookie sheet, then transfer to a big freezer bag. When I want some cookies, I'll take out a few, thaw for 15 minutes and bake. By having them in the freezer ready to go, I always have fresh cookies available.
