Baby Boomer Cornflake Coconut Cookies image

There are several recipes posted which are similar to this, but by the Gods of the 60's, this is the basic one so many of our bridge-playing, menthol-cigarette-smoking, cream-of-mushroom-soup-casserole-making mothers had ready for us after school. I do the same for mine (without the bridge, cigs or Campbells) and they are always devoured. The recipe doubles and triples, butter substitutes well for the shortening and I use whatever nuts are on hand - they all work.

I'm not a big fan of coconut, but I loved these cookies. The cornflakes added a nice crunch and the coconut flavor was subtle.

I'm not a big fan of coconut, but these cookies were surprisingly good. The cornflakes added a nice crunch and the coconut flavor wasn't too overpowering.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I love these cookies! They're so simple to make and always turn out delicious. I like to add a little extra coconut to the batter for an even stronger coconut flavor.
