Ingredients

  • 2 c. brown sugar
  • 2 c. white sugar
  • 2 c. oil
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 tsp. vanilla
  • 4 c. flour
  • 2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 1/2 c. quick cooking oatmeal
  • 4 c. cornflakes, slightly crushed
  • 1 tsp. salt

Method

  • Cream sugar, eggs, oil and vanilla.
  • Mix in rest of ingredients.
  • If dough is too stiff, add a very small amount of milk.
  • The dough should look dry, but hold together when rolled in hands.
  • Roll in small balls and flatten on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 350° for 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Be careful when you take from cookie sheet for they tend to break until cool.
  • Makes large batch. This is an old, old recipe.
  • In fact, I used to store them in a lard can or in a dishpan covered with a cloth.
  • Very good.
