If you're looking for a good crispy and crunchy cookie, this is a good one. I made the rookie mistake of not making sure I had all the ingredients before I started mixing everything together. I went to get the oatmeal and didn't have any! We use steel cut oats, but I thought I had some old fashioned ones. Luckily my mom was coming over so she brought some. The dough was a little soft, not sure if that was because it was sitting on the counter until she got to my house. With all the extra goodies in these cookies, I definitely couldn't roll them into balls. It was more of a squish them into balls. I think they still turned out good. Apparently I don't know how to measure 1" so I only ended up with just over 6 dozen, not the 10 listed. And 15 minutes, in my oven, was the perfect time for these to bake.
My interpretation of the recipe:
Crispy Oat Cookies
1 cup butter softened
1 cup sugar
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 egg
1 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 ½ cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup regular oats uncooked
1 cup crushed corn flakes
½ cup coconut
½ cup chopped nuts
Shape dough into 1 inch balls. Place on ungreased baking sheet - flatten with fork. Bake 325º for 15 minutes. 10 dozen
* I used unsalted butter
* I used light brown sugar
* For the nuts, I used pecans
* Made just over 6 dozen
I hope you enjoy and give this recipe a second chance in your kitchen too.
