My four grandsons started attending "Grandma's cooking school" when they were as young as 4. These easy monster cookies are a favorite of the youngest. He has fun making them and is always delighted with the results, as is the rest of the family. —Helen Hilbert, Liverpool, New York

Ingredients

2 cups butter, softened

4 large eggs, room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups cornflakes
2 cups rolled oats
1 package (8 ounces) sweetened shredded coconut

Directions

In a large bowl, cream butter and sugars. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Stir in the cornflakes, oats and coconut. (It may be necessary to transfer to a larger bowl to stir in the cornflakes, oats and coconut.) Stir in chocolate chips and nuts.
Shape dough into 1-1/2-inch balls and place in an airtight container, separating layers with waxed paper or parchment; refrigerate, covered, overnight.
To bake, place dough portions 3 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets; let stand at room temperature 30 minutes before baking. Bake at 350° until edges are browned, 13-15 minutes. Remove to wire racks to cool.
