- 1 cup Unsalted Butter softened

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking soda and salt; set aside.
Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer, cream together softened butter, white sugar and brown sugar in a separate bowl.
Add egg, vegetable oil and vanilla to the creamed mixture; beat until smooth.
To the wet mixture, mix in oats, cornflakes, coconut and nuts.
Add flour in small increments, beating in between additions.

-
- This recipe yields around 7 dozen cookies; it's a great recipe to serve a crowd.
- 1 cup of butter is equivalent to 2 sticks.
- The dough tends to be very creamy and slightly loose due to the oil.
- If you are missing one of the additions (cornflakes, nuts, oats or coconut), add more of one of the others instead.
- Use a fork to press down the cookies before baking. I sometimes make a cross-hatch pattern or sometimes I just press down one time in one direction.
