Viewed: 43 - Published at: 7 years agoIngredients
- 2 cups sifted flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 1/4 cups shortening
- 2 eggs, well beaten
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 cups corn flakes
- 1 cup white sugar
- 2 cups coconut, flaked or shredded
- 1/2 to 1 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Method
- Sift flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda together.
- In a separate bowl, cream the shortening and add the sugars. Gradually beat until light and fluffy. Combine all ingredients & mix together.
- Drop teaspoonful on a greased baking sheet 1 1/2" apart.
- Bake 8-10 minutes at 350 deg.F.
- This cookie tends to flatten out and spread on the baking sheet, so don't crowd them.
- Cool on a wire rack. They will be soft when coming off the pan, but cool to a chewy & crispy cookie.
- This dough does not refrigerate well because the cornflakes get soggy. I saw this same recipe with rice krispies instead of cornflakes, but I haven't tried it.
- Cornflakes are good - so why experiment. Although I did use wheaties once (not as good, but okay).
