Reduce the speed of the mixer to low and slowly add the flour mixture, until just combined. Add chocolate chips , oats. coconut or Cherries , and pecans, mixing until just combined.

4. If you want large cookies, drop about 1/4 cup lumps on the dough onto the prepared cookie sheets, separated by 3 inches to allow enough room for the cookies to spread as thy cook. For small cookies, use about 2 tablespoons of the cookie dough per cookie.

6. Remove the cookies from the oven and let cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes. Then remove the cookies to a rack to cool completely.
