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.
