Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or nonstick baking liners. Combine flour, baking soda and salt in a small bowl. Mix on speed 1 to combine, 10 seconds. In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugars on speed 3 until light and fluffy, about 1 minute. Add eggs, milk and vanilla; increase to speed 4 and beat until well blended, about 1 minute. Add flour mixture to creamed mixture; beat on speed 2 until well mixed. Add oats in two additions; beat on speed 2 after each addition until well blended. Add nuts and beat on speed 2 until just blended. Add chocolate morsels, brickle bits, M&M’s®, and raisins; continue to beat on speed 2 until blended, about 30 to 40 seconds. Scoop out dough in 11⁄2 tablespoons amounts (for ease and speed, use an ice cream scoop) onto the prepared baking sheets, two inches apart. Bake in preheated 350°F oven until golden, about 10 to 12 minutes. Cool on pan for 2 to 3 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
