My Favorite Cookie

This is by far my most favorite "chocolate chip" type cookie.  I love all the goodies in them.  Oatmeal, coconut, pecans, chocolate...mmm!  Sometimes I substitute M&Ms for some or all of the chocolate chips.  One of my favorite combos is half M&Ms and half semi-sweet chocolate chips.  A little taste of everything that way.  You can also use butterscotch chips, white chocolate chips, peanut butter chips...whatever makes your mouth water!  Turn them into YOUR favorite cookie!
