Santa Biggs’ Buffalo Chip Cookies

Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter, softened

  • 1 cup shortening

  • 2 cups brown sugar, firmly packed

  • 2 cups granulated sugar

  • 4 large eggs

  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour

  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

  • 2 teaspoons baking soda

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 2 cups old-fashioned oats

  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

  • 1 cup raisins

  • 1 cup flaked coconut

  • 1 cup chopped pecans

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or leave them ungreased.

  2. Cream the butter and shortening together in a large mixing bowl until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the brown sugar and granulated sugar, beating until light and well combined.

  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla.

  4. Combine the dry ingredients in a separate bowl. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

  5. Make the dough by gradually adding the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture and mixing until combined.

  6. Add the good stuff. Stir in the oats, cereal, chocolate chips, raisins, coconut, and pecans until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

  7. Make them Santa-sized. Scoop approximately 1/4 cup of dough per cookie onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving plenty of room between each cookie.

  8. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set.

  9. Cool for about 5 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring the cookies to a wire rack.

Santa’s Serving Suggestion

Serve one warm with a cold glass of iced milk.

And remember, these aren’t ordinary little cookies. They’re called Buffalo Chip Cookies for a reason. Make them big enough for Santa
