Pantry Cookies

Click here for a printable version of this recipe

This is hands down my most requested cookie from family members. The great thing about this recipe is you can substitute AS LONG as the quantities remain the same. I often put in 1/2 cup of nuts, and reduce chocolate chips to 1/2 cup. Or increase the coconut. The 1-cup cereal can be any type of cereal. I have not used fruit flavored, but I have used granola, crispy rice, corn flakes, and bran flakes. The key is to crush whatever kind of cereal you use. This cookie is crispy yet chewy. I give them in tins with circles of wax paper between layers.

Ingredients:

1 cup butter or margarine
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1 egg
1 cup vegetable oil
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 cup oatmeal, old fashioned or instant
1 cup crushed cereal, flakes, crispy types; anything crunchy
1/2 cup coconut
1-cup chocolate chips
3 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
Granulated sugar

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a large bowl cream butter and sugars. Add egg, oil, and vanilla; beat well. Stir in next 5 ingredients. Sift flour, baking soda and salt into mixture. Mix well. Shape into 1 1/2-inch balls. Roll in sugar and place on ungreased baking sheets. Flatten with a fork dipped in cold water, or the sugar. Bake 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned around edges. Cool on sheets partway before removing to wire racks. Makes about 8 dozen.
