The Best Oatmeal Cookies in the World!

1 cup butter
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 cups quick-cooking oats
1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 package instant french vanilla pudding mix
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp apple pie spices
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup milk chocolate chips
1/2 cup crushed pecans
1/2 cup crushed almonds
1 cup raisins
1/2 cup shredded coconut

In large bowl place butter and raisins, put in microwave on med. for 2 minutes or until the butter is melted completely, add sugars and mix well. Let sit for at least 15 minutes to cool. Mix in eggs and vanilla. Mix well to get out the sugar clumps.
In a separate bowl mix oats, flour, spices, nuts, pudding mix, coconut and baking soda. Slowly mix this mixture into the butter mixture. Once well mixed add the chips.
Drop by rounded tsp. 2 inches apart. Bake at 375' for 9 to 11 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove to wire rack. I use my insulated pans to bake on.
This cookies taste great with just about anything!
I have even frozen the batter and cooked some up later.
This cookie has been a big hit with many of my friends!
ENJOYS!!!!!
