I made these for the first time on Christmas eve when my mother in law brought the recipe. They are very good and a full batch really made about 40-50 cookies. I have modified it to a half batch.

The two important parts of this recipe are as follows: 1. You need to use a mixer 2. They get crispier the longer you cook them but also harder to chew.

I think they would be great with white chocolate chips and craisins. Next time I will try that.

Also, because it made so many, I froze most of the dough after rolling it into balls.

 

1 cup flour

1 stick of butter

1/4 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

1 cup old fashioned oats

1/3 cup coconut

1/2 cup white sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar

1 egg

1/8 teaspoon salt

1 cup corn flakes

1/2 cup chopped pecans

1/2 cup dried cranberries

 

Cream the butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Add the flour, salt, baking soda and baking powder. Then add the remaining ingredients. Make into round balls 1 tablespoon in size. Place on a baking mat or parchment paper. Bake at 375 degrees for 8-11 minutes. Cool before removing.
