  • 1 cup granulated sugar (200 grams)
  • 1 cup brown sugar (210-220 grams)
  • 2 large eggs well beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 2 cups cornflakes
  • ½ cup coconut toasted
  • 1 ½ cup chocolate chips original recipe used only ½ cup

  • Stir flour mixture into butter mixture, then stir in oats, cornflakes, coconut, chocolate chips and nuts.
  • Scoop up big tablespoons of dough and shape into balls. Place on parchment lined cookies sheets, spacing 3 inches apart, and flatten lightly with palm of hand so they’ll cook evenly.
