Giant Cowboy Cookies

These oversized cookies combine favorite trail mix ingredients with a classic oatmeal cookie. The precise flavor--from M&M's to dried fruit--is the chef's choice.
Ingredients

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
1 cup butter, at room temperature
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 cups rolled oats
2 1/2 cups total mix-ins:
semisweet chocolate chips, M&M's, chopped walnuts or other nuts, and/or raisins or other dried fruit
Kids' Cooking Skills:
Use this recipe to teach your child how to customize cookies with favorite ingredients, use a spatula to fold in ingredients, and flatten cookies with a wet glass.
Directions

1. Heat the oven to 350° F. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
2. In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and both sugars, then beat in the eggs. Stir in the vanilla extract. Finally, stir in the flour mixture.
3. Using a spatula, fold in the rolled oats until thoroughly.
4. Bake 12-14 minutes or until just browned around the edges.
