'This and That' Cookies

I wanted chocolate chip cookies...but then I wanted something with rainbow sprinkles. I couldn't make up my mind so I decided to combine the two. Then it just turned into adding a little bit of this and a little bit of that and these beauties happened!

Ingredients

1 1/2 sticks butter

3/4 C sugar

3/4 C brown sugar

2 eggs

1/2 Tbsp vanilla

1/2 Tbsp baking soda

1/2 Tbsp baking powder

1/4 tsp salt

3/4 C mini chocolate chips

1 C coconut flakes

3/4 C old fashioned oats

1/4 C rainbow sprinkles

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

In a bowl, using a blender, beat the butter until smooth and then mix in the sugars. 

Add the eggs and vanilla and continue blending.

Add in the baking soda, baking powder and salt and give it a final mix with the blender.

Add in the flour and with a wooden spoon, stir to fully combine.

Pour in the chocolate chips, coconut flakes, oats and sprinkles. Gently stir to combine.

Using a tablespoon, scoop dough and lightly form into a ball. Place on baking sheet leaving 2 inches in between each cookie.

Bake for 10-12 minutes until lightly browned.

Remove and let cool before serving.

**I like to form the dough into balls, line a tray with them and place them in the freezer for about 30 minutes. Then remove the tray, place all the dough into a baggie and put back into the freezer. That way, if you are craving a cookie another night, you can just take a few out, pop them onto a baking sheet, bake and enjoy!
