For cookies that get devoured in minutes with a teenage crowd (some of the toughest critics!), this is the go-to recipe. I even had high school guys asking me for the recipe!
These cookies are overflowing with crunchy goodness of coconut, the sweetness of chocolate, and the slightly savory aspect of corn flakes--a unique combination resulting in cookie perfection!

1/2 cup Butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup Shortening
1 cup Packed Light Brown Sugar
1 cup Sugar

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add the milk, vanilla and eggs and beat well. Stir in cornflake crumbs and oats. Add the flour, baking soda and salt and mix. Stir in the coconut, walnuts, if using, and chocolate chips.
