These everything-but-the-kitchen sink chocolate chip cookies are studded with nuts, cereal, coconut, and oatmeal to create a cookie that is delightfully chewy and showcases a range of flavor and textures.

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground mace
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 tablespoon milk
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup cornflakes cereal, crumbled
3 cups rolled oats
1/2 cup flaked coconut
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup chopped walnuts

Directions

1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease the cookie sheets. Sift together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, mace, nutmeg, and cloves; set aside.
2 In a large bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in milk and vanilla. Gradually mix in the sifted ingredients until well blended. Using a wooden spoon, fold in the cornflakes, oats, coconut, chocolate chips, and walnuts. Roll dough into walnut-size balls, and place 2 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheets; flatten slightly.
3 Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in preheated oven. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Slightly underbaking yields wonderfully chewy cookies!
