Ingredients

  • 2 sticks butter
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup salad oil
  • 1 cup uncooked Quaker oats
  • 1 cup crushed corn flakes
  • 1/2 cup coconut
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C).
  2. Cream the butter; add the egg and sugars, then mix well.
  3. Add the flour alternately with salad oil, then incorporate the rest of the ingredients.
  4. Drop teaspoonfuls of dough onto a cookie sheet.
  5. Dip a fork in 1/2 cup water and press down on each cookie to flatten.
  6. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until browned.
  7. Allow cookies to cool slightly before removing from the sheet.

Tips & Substitutions

For a richer flavor, consider using unsalted butter and adding a pinch of cinnamon. If you want a nut-free version, you can substitute chopped pecans with sunflower seeds. Make sure to pack the brown sugar tightly for optimal sweetness. If the dough feels too sticky, chill it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before baking.

Serving Suggestions

These cookies are delightful on their own or served with a glass of milk. For a special treat, try pairing them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. They also make a great addition to a dessert platter alongside other baked goods, such as Crusty Cake or Apple Peanut Butter Crumb Pie.

Storage & Reheating

Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze the cookies in a single layer, then transfer to a freezer bag, where they can last for up to three months. To reheat, warm them in a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 5 minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a different type of oil instead of salad oil?

Yes, you can substitute salad oil with vegetable oil or canola oil. These oils will work just as well without altering the flavor significantly. Avoid using olive oil, as its taste may overpower the cookies.

What can I use instead of pecans if I have a nut allergy?

If you have a nut allergy, you can simply omit the pecans or replace them with seeds like pumpkin or sunflower seeds. These will provide a similar crunch without the allergenic risks.

How can I make these cookies chewier?

To achieve a chewier texture, try slightly reducing the flour and increasing the brown sugar. You can also underbake the cookies by a minute or two, allowing them to stay soft in the center while still being cooked through.
