A Cookie of a Cookie Recipe


I have two small grandchildren. When they are over my house for the weekends it is often hard to find something for them to do and hard to find something for them to snack on...My grand-daughter is too young right now..but my grandson is four years old...Just at the age when he wants to get into things and do things....This recipe will kill two birds with one stone.!

Ingredients:

1 cup butter
1 cup white sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg
1 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup flaked coconut
1 cup crushed cornflakes cereal
1/2 cup chopped pecans

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (170 degrees C).

2. Cream together the butter or margarine and sugars.

3. Stir in egg, oil, vanilla, baking soda and flour. Mix until well blended.

4. Stir in the rest of the ingredients. Drop on cookie sheets. If desired, sprinkle with sugar before baking. Bake for 12-15 minutes.

I usually tell you people to enjoy... Me and the kids are going to enjoy!
