(I Just Made the Best) Chocolate Chip Cookies!

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, soft
• 1/2 cup shortening
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
• 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt, scant
• 1 cup quick-cooking oat
• 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup walnuts
• 1/2 cup unsweetened flaked coconut

Directions

1. 1

   Heat oven to 365 degrees, fahrenheit.

2. 2

   Cream together the sugars with the softened butter and shortening.

3. 3

   Beat in the eggs and extracts.

4. 4

   Stir together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Add to the batter.

5. 5

   Add the remaining ingredients and stir until mixed, careful not to over mix.

6. 6

   Let the batter rest 20 minutes in the refrigerator.

7. 7

   Scoop heaping soup-spoon sized balls of batter and slightly flatten on a cookie sheet. You should fit 10-12 on a standard size cookie sheet.

8. 8

   Bake 9-12 minutes. Do not over bake! They will keep cooking when they come out of the oven, because they are so dense. My oven cooks unevenly, so I always rotate the cookie sheets half way through.

9. 9

   Let rest for 2-3 minutes on the cookie sheet and then cool on a wire rack.

10. 10

    Store in an airtight container (if they last!).
