Desperation Cookies
Warning, LONG! (it is a recipe after all)
Basically, it's a the cookie version of jamablya: Make a cookie dough and through whatever bits and pieces you have in it. But, if you're like me, you need a recipe for the dough because you don't have one memorized.

Preheat oven to 350 degress F., rack in the middle position.
2 cups melted butter (4 sticks, one pound)
3 cups white sugar
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
4 teaspoons vanilla
4 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons salt
4 beaten eggs
5 cups flour (no need to sift)
3 cups chips ***
4 cups chopped nuts ****
***Use any combination of regular choclate chips, butterscotch chips, white chocolate chips, milk chocolate chips, vanilla chips, cherry chips, strawberry chips, peanut butter chips, or any other flavors you think will go together.
****Use any nuts you like including walnuts, pecans, cashews, almonds, even peanuts. If you don’t have enough nuts to make 4 cups, fill in with crushed cornflakes, Rice Krispies, cocnut, raisins, or any dried fruit.
Melt the butter. (Nuke it for 3 minutes on high in a microwave-safe container, or in a pan on the stove.) Mix in the white sugar and the bornw sugar. Add the vanilla, baking soda, salt, and mix. Add the eggs and stir it all up. Then add halgf the flour, the chips, and the chopped nuts. Stir well to incorporate. Then add the rest of the flour and mix thoroughly.
Drop by teaspoons onto greased cookie sheets, 12 to a standard-size sheet. If the dough is too sticky to handle, chill it slightly and try again. Bake at 350 degrees F. for 10 to 12 minutes or until nicely browned.
Let cool for two minutes, then remove cookies from the baking sheet and transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.
Yields: Approximately 10 dozen.
