Just like the name indicates these cookies are chock full of yummy stuff like chocolate chips, toasted oatmeal and coconut, even crispy rice cereal. Cinnamon gives this cookie a distinct flavor that's not to be missed, so don't even think about leaving it out!

Everything But the Kitchen Sink Cookies

1 cup sweetened flaked coconut

1/2 cup old fashioned oats
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher or coarse salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

3/4 cup butter, softened
1/4 cup vegetable shortening
3/4 cup dark brown sugar, firmly packed
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1/4 cup smooth peanut butter

1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup crisped rice cereal*

1 1/3 cups semisweet chocolate chips or chunks

1/4 cup turbinado (raw) or granulated sugar for dipping

1. Preheat oven to 375*F (190*C).
2. Combine the coconut and oatmeal on a baking sheet and bake in the oven, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 6 minutes or until lightly toasted. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
3. In a medium bowl bowl mix flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon; set aside.
4. In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer on medium speed, cream butter with sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, peanut butter and vanilla. Stir in flour mixture until just combined. Stir in oatmeal and coconut until just combined. Fold in the cereal(s), and chocolate chips, incorporating evenly throughout dough.
5. Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls, about 2-inches apart, onto a parchment-lined or lightly greased baking sheet. Flatten cookies with the bottom of a glass that has been first been dampened with water and then dipped into sugar, dipping glass into sugar to flatten each cookie. (You should only need to dampen glass with water once.)
6. Bake for about 10 to 12 minutes or until the cookies are golden, turning baking sheet around halfway through the baking time to ensure even browning. Cool for 2 to 3 minutes on baking sheet and the transfer to a rack to cool completely.

Makes 4 dozen.

* Or use unsweetened cornflakes or a combination of both cereals.
