- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the brown sugar and softened butter until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in the raisins, rolled oats, crushed corn flakes, shredded coconut, and chopped walnuts.
- Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop rounded balls of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets.
- Gently flatten each cookie with the palm of your hand or the bottom of a glass.
- Bake for 13-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
