Aunt Mel’s Dream Cookies

Keith’s Aunt Melanie shared these dreamy cookies with us on a camping trip this summer. They are so simple to make!

• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1 cup oil (vegetable or coconut)
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 t. vanilla
• 3-1/4 cups flour
• 1 t. baking soda
• 1 t. cream of tartar
• 1 cup quick oats
• 1 cup Rice Krispies cereal
• 1 cup flaked, sweetened coconut
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Beat together butter, oil, sugar, brown sugar, egg & vanilla. Stir in remaining ingredients. Place mounded tablespoon-sized scoops onto greased cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes. Let cool on pan for 2-3 minutes before removing to wire rack to cool completely.

These cookies are best fresh! They’ll make a perfect treat in back-to-school lunches, or anywhere you serve them. Enjoy!
