Everything but the Kitchen Sink Oatmeal Cookies

Submitted by tinaleetn

"My boyfriend and I wanted Oatmeal Raisin Cookies one night. While I like cranberries, bananas, chocolate, and raisins he wanted cherries, blueberries, and pecans. So, instead of making 2 different batches I just mixed everything in one big bowl! So yummy! Note...my boyfriend likes his cookies a little undercooked so I cooked his for 11 minutes, while I cook mine for 14 minutes."
