Scrapee down sides bowl & adding chocolate chips, corn flakes, coconut, walnuts also whisk on low speed to mixed, for 1 min .
Using a large, 1/4 cup scoop or your hands, form about 13 mounds of dough of the same size.

*  Organize piles on  large plate , covering with plastic-wrap  & refrigerate about at least 2 h, up to 5 days.Do-not bake with un-cooled dough as cookie bake thinner, flatter, & are more likely to spread.Preheat oven 350F, line dish with Silpat or spraying with cook spray. Place the mounds of dough on a baking sheet, spaced at least 2 inches apart (I bake 8 cookies per tray) and bake for about 10 to 12 minutes (11 minutes in my oven is okay), or until that the edges have settled and the tops are ready.   , even if undercooked, pale and shiny in the center; do not overcook.Permit the cookies cool on baking sheet for 10 minutes before serve .I permit them cool on pan & I don't utilize a rack.

Enjoy !
