Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Set them aside.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Set it aside.
Using either a stand mixer or a handheld mixer on medium-high speed, beat the butter and shortening for 1 to 1½ minutes until smooth.
Add the sugars and the vanilla and continue mixing for another 1 to 1½ minutes, until fluffy.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each egg.
Lower the mixer speed to medium-low, and add the flour ½ cup at a time. Mix just until well incorporated.
Add the oats, Rice Krispies, corn flakes, and coconut flakes. Mix just until well combined.
Add the chocolate chips and mix just until combined.
Scoop the cookie dough out with a 1 tablespoon cookie scoop. Space the cookie dough 2 inches apart. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, until the edges are golden. Allow the cookies to rest on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
Notes
Old-fashioned oats are what you want for this recipe. If you use quick oats, they will bake too fast and make the cookies too soft.
You could also turn these into bars. Press dough into a greased 9x13-inch pan. Bake at 350°F for 28 to 32 minutes until golden brown. Let cool and cut into bars.
Oven temperatures vary and may need to be recalibrated periodically to ensure they are accurate. Make sure to check your cookies at the lower end of the recommended baking time.
