      For REALLY big cookies, use a standard size ice cream scoop, and bake for between 17-18 minutes. I got a yield of 42 big wonderful cookies out of this recipe.

      These are sooo simple to make...you can get 12 cookies per sheet pan, have all the pans ready to pop in the oven, sort of a production line! Quick, and GOOD!

      Further down, under the actual recipe, I've copied instructions, from Moomie, for bar cookies made from this dough...

      Moomie's Power Cookies

      2 c. brown sugar (packed)
      2 c. sugar
      3/4 c. softened butter or margarine
      1 c. shortening
      4 eggs
      2 tsp vanilla
      3 1/2 c. flour
      2 tsp salt
      2 tsp soda
      3 c. oatmeal
      2 c. coconut
      2 c. raisins
      1 c. chocolate chips
      1 c. chopped nuts

      Cream together brown sugar, sugar, margarine and shortening. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Combine flour, salt, and soda; beat into first mixture. Add remaining ingredients, mix well. Drop by teaspoon onto cookie sheets. Bake at 350 for about 8 minutes or til golden.
      This makes a HUGE batch of cookies! My stand mixer is a real life saver on this!

      I also use this recipe to make our favorite oatmeal raisin cookies. I leave out the chocolate chips and nuts and add an extra cup of raisins to the dough. And bake as above. Yummy!

      Variations....

      There was a thread re baking these cookies as bar cookies, so per Ms. Moomie, herself, here are her instructions:

      Hi elmojabr! If you have two half sheet pans, that will take care of your full recipe of dough. You could do a half recipe and put it in a jelly roll pan, but it will be a thicker cookie than the half sheet. Either way, it would be delicious!

      Another poster used a 9x12 pan, approx 2lbs of dough, baked for 15 minutes, at 350F, left in turned off oven, for 5 minutes, until center was golden brown.
