Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Cream together the brown sugar, white sugar, cooking oil, vanilla, and eggs.
- In a separate bowl, mix the dry ingredients including the quick oatmeal, flour, and corn flakes; add chopped nuts and coconut, then mix well.
- Gradually pour the dry mixture into the creamed mixture and combine thoroughly.
- Form the dough into balls, place them on a cookie sheet, and bake for approximately 12 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For a chewier texture, consider using less white sugar and adding an extra egg. You can substitute half the cooking oil with applesauce for a healthier twist. If you prefer a crunchier cookie, increase the corn flakes or add some chocolate chips for a delightful surprise. Remember to chill the dough for 30 minutes if it's too sticky before forming balls.
