Eric's Oatmeal Crisps

  • 1 cup butter (softened)
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 3 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup oats
  • 1/2 cup shredded sweetened coconut
  • 1 cup corn flakes, crushed
  • 1/2 cup pecans chopped

Preheat oven 325 degrees
In mixing bowl beat sugar and butter until light and fluffy.
Add egg, vanilla, and oil.
In separate bowl mix flour, baking soda, and salt.
Mix flour mixture to wet mixture.
Add remaining ingredients.

Place on un-greased cookie sheet.
Cook for 12 minutes.
Let cool for 5 minutes on pan.
Set on cookie rack to cool.

**note.... I messed up the first time.  I was going to half it and didn't put enough flour...they were overly crisp and too greasy.  Eric loved them that way.
I also ran out of corn flakes so I used Honey Bunches of Oats.

The girls don't like nuts....oh well!!
