This is my second favorite cookie recipe. I will warn you in advance. When you make the dough it looks kind of weird--kind of oily. Do not be turned off by this. When you bake these cookies, they are amazingly light, crisp, and delicious!
This recipe was given to me by the wife of the builder of our first home. She is an amazing cook. She always came up with something that was different and delicious.
1 cup butter
1 cup vegetable oil
1 cup dark brown sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
1 egg (beaten)1 teaspoon vanilla
3 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup crushed cornflakes
1 cup oatmeal (not instant)
1/2 cup nuts (finely chopped)
1/2 cup flaked coconut
In an electric mixer, cream butter, vegetable oil, brown sugar, granulated sugar, egg, and vanilla together.
Sift together flour, baking soda, and salt. Add to mixture. Mix well. Stir in corn flakes, oatmeal, nuts, and coconut.
Form into 1-inch balls. Place on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake at 350 degrees for approximately 7 minutes until light golden brown. Makes approximately 8 dozen.
Optional: Sprinkle with powdered sugar while still warm.
