Mama Dee's Best Oatmeal Cookies

These are the best oatmeal cookies. My family and friends all love them. They never last long at our house!

1 cup Imperial Margarine [or 1/2 cup butter & 1/2 cup butter flavored Crisco]
3/4 cup brown sugar [packed]
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
2 cups quick cooking oatmeal
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
Add In's (Use Any or All - I Use All!)
8 ounces semi sweet chocolate chips
8 ounces white chocolate chips
1 cup raisins
1 cup flaked coconut
1 1/2 cups nuts [walnuts, pecans, macadamia nuts..you choose]

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare 3 baking sheets by covering them with parchment paper.

Cream margarine in large bowl on heavy duty mixer until light and creamy. add sugars and beat for 2- 3 minutes. Add eggs 1 at a time. Add vanilla. Beat for 1 more minute. Measure out the dry ingredients. Slowly blend into wet ingredients with mixer running on slow. Fold in chocolate chips, raisens, coconut, and nuts.

Scoop onto cookie sheets 2 inches apart with a 1 inch cookie scoop. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 -12 minutes or until very lightly browned. Cool on sheets for 5 minutes and move to rack to finish cooling. Store in an airtight container.
*If you can't wait for them to cool, enjoy with a cold glass of milk while still warm from the oven! Yummm!
