Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease your cookie sheet or use a silicone baking mat.

- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, oatmeal, and salt together. Mix well. Then, gently stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until well mixed.
- Finally, add all the chips, coconut, and chopped nuts. Mix gently and evenly.

Notes
Substitutions: The “mix-ins” can be changed based on your preference. Don’t like coconut? Skip it. Love dried fruit? Add craisins instead. Feel free to play around with the flavor combinations to your preference.
Freezing Dough: Dough freezes fine if you want to plan ahead. Freeze unbaked dough in balls or in slices ready to bake. Store in air-tight wrap. If freezing balls, freeze them on cookie sheets, then place them in freezer bags once frozen (so they don’t stick together). When you’re ready to bake them, set out the dough on cookie sheets for a few minutes before baking (while the oven heats). Freeze for up to 3 months.
