In honor of the sweet goodness that Halloween brings, Las Vegas' best orthodontic office wants to share what might be the best cookie recipe you'll ever try.  That is, if you can make them correctly!  These cookies got Dr. Whetten through high school and continue to rock his world.  Today, he prefers them to be prepared without nuts.  This recipe is courtesy of Grandma Whetten and has been modified by Dr. J's wife to suit his taste.

Buffalo Chip Cookies:

1 cup Margarine (no butter); 1 cup sugar; 1 cup brown sugar; 2 tsp milk; 1 tsp vanilla;  2 eggs; 1 tsp baking soda (do not level); 1/2 tsp salt; 1 cup oatmeal; 1/2 cup coconut; 1 cup cornflakes (crushed to 1/2 cup); 1 tsp baking power (do not level; semi heaped);  3+ cups flour; Nuts (pecans preferred, amt. per baker); Chocolate chips (per baker)

Mix the margarine, sugar, and brown sugar together.  Next, add milk, vanilla, and eggs. Mix well.  Add baking soda, baking powder, salt, oatmeal, coconut, and cornflakes.  Mix well.  Add the flour, mixing until the dough is not sticky.  It may take upwards of 4 cups of flour to reach this.  Dr. J's wife can go up to five cups.  Once the dough is the proper consistency add the chocolate chips and nuts.  Make into golf ball sized dough balls.  Bake at 350 degrees for 13-15 minutes (golden brown on the edges).  Do not overcook!  Remove cookies from the baking sheet immediately and place on cooling racks, as they will fall if left to cool on the baking sheet.
