When our family gathered at my aunt's summer home on Mackinac Island a few years back, she pulled out her tried-and-true recipe and made these wholesome cookies. I think of her and that memorable vacation every time I make these for my own family. Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened |
1 cup sugar |
1 cup packed brown sugar |
2 eggs |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1-1/2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1 teaspoon salt |
2 cups quick-cooking oats |
2 cups cornflakes |
1 cup flaked coconut |
1 cup salted peanuts |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt; gradually add to the creamed mixture and mix well. Stir in remaining ingredients.
2. Drop by level tablespoonfuls 2 in. apart onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 350° for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove to wire racks to cool. Yield: about 6-1/2 dozen.
