directions

  • Position oven rack in the middle of oven; preheat to 350°.
  • Place the walnut halves on a baking sheet and toast, stirring occasionally, until browned and fragrant, 6-10 minutes; transfer to a plate and let cool completely.
  • In a big bowl, using an electric mixer on medium speed, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  • Beat in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • Beat in the vanilla.
  • Sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt onto a piece of waxed paper; beat into the butter mixture to form a soft dough.
  • In another large bowl, toss together the toasted nuts, rice cereal, coconut, oats, and chocolate chips.
  • Use a large wooden spoon to stir all the dry ingredients into the soft dough.
  • Don't worry about incorporating all these ingredients into the dough--it just takes a little patience, a sturdy wooden spoon, and a strong arm.
  • Scoop the dough into 1/4-cup balls (can use a 2-oz. ice cream scoop); place the cookie dough balls on parchment paper-lined baking sheets at least 2 inches apart.
  • Flatten each dough ball slightly with two wet fingers to keep the cookies from puffing up too much as they bake.
  • Bake until the edges of the cookie are light brown and crisp but the centers of the cookie are still soft and a little puffy, 12-15 minutes.
  • Let the cookies cool slightly on the baking sheet before removing them with a spatula to a wire rack to finish cooling.
