A very simple and utterly delicious cookie with coconut, crushed Corn Flakes and brown sugar. This is one of my family's standards, and is my go to cookie if I have to have something delicious and home baked in a hurry. Ingredients:
1/2 cup shortening (margarine or butter) |
2 cups brown sugar, lightly packed |
1 teaspoon salt |
2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
4 eggs, lightly beaten |
4 cups coconut |
4 cups corn flakes cereal, crushed from 8 cups |
1 cup pecans or 1 cup walnuts |
Directions:
1. Cream the shortening and brown sugar. Add salt, vanilla and the beaten eggs.
2. Crush the cornflakes. I always do this by measuring out twice as much uncrushed Corn Flakes and crushing them down to the correct amount. For this large recipe, I have two big four cup measures full of uncrushed Corn Flakes, and then crush them by hand down to two cups each.
3. Add cornflakes, coconut and nuts to the egg and shortening mixture and mix well.
4. Measure by tablespoons onto prepared baking sheets, either well-greased or, better yet, covered with baking parchment.
5. Cook until golden brown.
6. Let the cookies cool on the pan until they firm up.
