Can you say "cookie please?" Everything Cookies: when chocolate chip meets oatmeal

I love to bake! Cookies are the way to say 'I love you' or You are special, to anyone! My kids grew up helping me make cookies and today, they are both budding chefs: Steve is making his mark on the 'global market'. He likes to make omelets, gyros, greek salads, jambalaya, and anything he can mix! He was making omelets for his grandparents and parents since he was about 9 or 10! Allie loves to bake! She loves to make cookies and cakes, and I see her experimenting in the kitchen a lot, lately! This recipe is what I call my EVERYthing cookies! Make, bake, share, and enjoy!

 Recipe: 1 stick unsalted butter 1 stick margarine, both at room temperature 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed 3/4 cup granulated sugar (blend these ingredients to make a paste) Add: 2 eggs 1 and 3/4 cup unbleached all purpose flour (sometimes I substitute 1/2 cup whole wheat) 2 cups oatmeal 1 tsp baking soda 1 tsp baking powder 1 tsp cinnamon, dash of nutmeg Blend all of this together, then remove from mixer stand and stir in by hand: a cup each of chocolate chips, pecans, coconut, and craisins, whatever you've got on hand! 

 Preheat oven to 350 and bake until golden brown, about 14 minutes each. Makes about 4 dozen.
