BUFFALO CHIP COOKIES
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- This makes a lot of dough, so I use my Kitchen Aid stand mixer and paddle attachment. It handles all the ingredients really well. You can also use a large mixing bowl and electric mixer, but definitely stir in all the add-ins and use a large enough bowl to hold everything.
- Cream the butter and shortening, then add both sugars, the eggs, and vanilla. Beat at medium speed until well combined. Combine flour, baking powder, and baking soda in a separate bowl, then add into the butter mixture and mix well.
- Stir in the nuts, chocolate chips, coconut, Corn Flakes, and/or any other add-ins you like. Butterscotch chips, raisins, Craisins, sliced almonds, Rice Krispies cereal, pretzels...whatever you have on hand and love!
- Use a 1/4 measuring cup to scoop out the cookie dough, and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. You could also use a large cookie scoop or ice cream scoop about the same size. For smaller cookies, use a cookie scoop to form your cookies, then alter the baking time by a few minutes.
- Place cookie sheets in the oven, and bake 10-12 minutes, or slightly longer for a crispier cookie. Let sit on the cookie sheet for a few minutes before moving to cool completely on wire racks. Store in airtight containers for 3-5 days on the counter, and about a week in the refrigerator.
GRANDMA'S FANTASTIC CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
As a first choice I always choose Recipe #250599 because they're so unwholesome and delicious and as a second choice I always choose these because they're so wholesome and delicious. I have only made these using the white flour. I have heard that you need more flour than called for when using the whole wheat so just add a little extra until you get the proper consistency.

I tweaked this recipe so much that it's now my own. Also known as (at least by me) 'Everything but the kitchen sink cookies,' these cookies have a fun variety of ingredients in them for a ton of texture and flavor. The photo is of them both with and without the cocoa powder.
