A to Z Everything-but-the-Kitchen-Sink Chocolate Chip Cookies

• 1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground mace
• 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves

• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup cornflakes cereal, crumbled
• 3 cups rolled oats
• 1/2 cup flaked coconut
• 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup chopped walnuts

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets. Sift together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, mace, nutmeg, and cloves; set aside.
2. In a large bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in milk and vanilla. Gradually mix in the sifted ingredients until well blended. Using a wooden spoon, stir in the cornflakes, oats, coconut, chocolate chips, and walnuts. Roll the dough into walnut sized balls, and place 2 inches apart on prepared cookie sheets; flatten slightly.
3. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in preheated oven. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. I found that slightly under baking these yields wonderfully chewy cookies!
