Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 F/180 C. Line your baking trays with parchment paper.

  • Beat butter and both sugars until blended, add eggs and vanilla continue beating for 2-3 more minutes. You can use electric mixer or an old fashioned wooden spoon. Add dry ingredients to the butter and egg mixture and mix well, then add the chocolate chips, walnuts, raisins and coconut. 
  • Prepare two large cookie sheets lined with baking mats or parchment paper. Scoop ¼ cup balls on to the cookie sheets, you can fit as many cookies as each sheet will hold with no spacing. Cover the cookie sheet with plastic wrap and let the cookie balls rest in the refrigerator overnight or at least for 5 hours (This step is important for best results).
  • The following day preheat the oven to 180C/350F and remove the cookie sheets from the fridge. Re-arrange the cookies on each sheet, so they are spaced 3 inches apart as the cookies will spread as they bake. Bake for 12-14 minutes, remove to a cooling rack and cool.
