How to Make Buffalo Chip Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened margarine, ¾ cup packed brown sugar, and ¾ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 teaspoon baking powder.
  5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Stir in 1 ½ cups raisin bran cereal, 1 cup rolled oats, 1 cup raisins, 1 cup shredded coconut, 1 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans recommended), and 1 cup chocolate chips.
  7. Drop by large spoonfuls (about ¼ cup each) onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between cookies.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown. Larger cookies may require slightly longer baking time.
  9. Let cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
