Mama's "Everything" Cookies - Recipe and Presentation Idea

Here's a batch of cookies everyone is sure to love because everything is in it, which means there is something for everyone. This recipe has been a staple of mine for years. I have used it without fail for many different occasions. It's great for barbecues, family get-togethers, parties, and other social events. Children and adults alike will enjoy this sweet and tasty treat. However, I'm going to have to warn you not to eat more than one or two at a time because with all the ingredients, they are very tempting.

Ingredients:
3 cups of flour (use high altitude flour if you are at a high elevation or altitude)
1 cup of white granulated sugar
1 cup of brown sugar
1 teaspoon of baking soda
3 eggs
1 cup of butter
1 teaspoon of pure almond extract (don't use imitation)
3 teaspoons of pure vanilla extract (don't use imitation)
one half package of Ghirardelli Milk Chocolate Chips
1/2 cup of halved pecans
1/4 cup of cashews
1/4 cup of shredded coconut (some prefer to leave this out)
1/4 cup of rolled oats
1/4 cup dried cranberries

Directions:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugars, and baking soda together. Next add the butter, eggs, and extracts. When it is completely mixed together, the texture should be smooth, but thick and not sticky. If it's a little sticky, add more flour a little at a time until it is no longer sticky.

Next, add the rest of the ingredients one at a time. It will be a little tough to stir the ingredients in. Adding them in a little at a time will make it much easier. Once all the ingredients are stirred in, you should refrigerate your dough for about one hour. Then, it is ready to use. Leave it in the refrigerator until you are ready to prepare the cookies.
