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.
