Delicious Cookies

(thanks mom!)

Heat Oven to 375 deg.

Mix Together:

• 1 Cup butter or margarine
• 1 Cup brown Sugar (You can use a little less!)
• 1 Cup white Sugar (You can use a little less here too)
• 2 Eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1 tsp almond extract (optional)

Add:

• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp cloves
• 1/2 tsp nutmeg
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 3/4 cups flour
• 2 cups rolled oats
• 1 cup coconut (optional)
• 1 cup nuts (optional)
• 1 cup chocolate chips
• 1 cup cereal (rice crispies, muslix or whatever - optional)*
• 1/2 cup bran or wheat germ (optional)
• *I usually add 2 extra cups of oats rather than the cereal. I like oats*

Drop onto cookie sheet and bake at 375 deg for approx 12 min (though in my oven they are done in exactly 8 minutes).

I love this recipe simply because it is such a basic recipe and I can throw in a little of this and a little of that. I sort of clean out my pantry leftovers into it. Sometimes I add raisins or sunflower seeds too....and they are soooo yummy! (and you can make them healthy!)
