CEREAL COOKIES



Cereal Cookies image

This recipe was passed down from my Great Grandma Crawford. It is a simple cookie that goes great with coffee or hot chocolate on a cold winter's day. I've baked them with both butter or Crisco. The butter version is a flatter cookie, similar to the ones my Grandma made. Enjoy these cookies, they are a real treat from my childhood.

not a very unique name..but I like this recipe..just messed around one day and decided to use up some small amounts of cereal left in boxes..Measure the cereal then crush it slightly..If you crush then measure..it will be too much cereal..I always "underbake" my cookies..the residual heat in cookies will finish the cookies Try using different flavor cake mixes sometimes I add dried cherries, cranberries or raisins..always like to do something different to change the recipe a little

CRISPY COCONUT-OATMEAL COOKIES



Crispy Coconut-Oatmeal Cookies image

This recipe has oatmeal, Rice Krispies and coconut. Very crispy and yummy. I clipped it from a Southern Living magazine years ago. It's requested time and again at my house.

Tips:

  • Use unsweetened coconut flakes for a healthier cookie. If you prefer a sweeter cookie, use sweetened coconut flakes.
  • Toast the coconut flakes before adding them to the cookie dough. This will enhance their flavor and give the cookies a slightly crunchy texture.
  • Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract or almond extract to the cookie dough for extra flavor.
  • Chill the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just golden brown around the edges. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.

Conclusion:

Coconut cereal cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With their chewy texture, sweet coconut flavor, and crunchy cereal bits, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy snack or dessert, give these coconut cereal cookies a try. You won't be disappointed!
