Kitchen Sink Cookies

by Candiceprint this recipe!

These cookies have it all! Peanut butter, oatmeal, coconut, chocolate chips, Reese’s, M&Ms, you name it! To mix it up, you can use individual candy-bar sized packages. The more you throw in, the more fun the cookies are. Here’s a chance to use your imagination. The cookies in the picture use ½ cup of coconut, Reese’s, M&Ms, and a cup of chocolate chips. Kids will love dumping in all the fun ingredients, almost as much as they’ll love eating them.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Cream sugars and shortening for 1 minute. Add the peanut butter, and beat for 2 more minutes until light and fluffy. Add egg, water, and vanilla and beat until creamy. Mix together flour, baking soda, and salt and add to creamed mixture. Mix well, stir in oats and mixed goodies. Drop by heaping teaspoons onto greased cookie sheet. Flatten lightly (they don’t spread much).

Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool on baking sheets for 5-10 minutes before removing to a rack to finish cooling.

Makes about 4 dozen cookies
