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!
