Cereal Cookies Recipe
Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1 cup | Shortening |
| 1 cup | Brown sugar |
| 3/4 cup | White sugar |
| 2 | Eggs |
| 2 cups | Oatmeal |
| 2 tsp | Vanilla extract |
| 1 tsp | Salt |
| 2 cups | All-purpose flour |
| 1/2 tsp | Baking soda |
| 1 tsp | Baking powder |
| 1/2 cup | Chopped nuts |
| 1 cup | Shredded coconut |
| 2 cups | Rice Krispies |
Instructions:
-
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).
-
Cream together the shortening, brown sugar, and white sugar in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy.
-
Add the beaten eggs and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture, and mix until well combined.
-
Stir in the oatmeal, salt, all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and chopped nuts until evenly incorporated.
-
Fold in the shredded coconut and rice krispies gently until they are distributed throughout the dough.
-
Form the dough into small balls, and place them onto a greased or lined baking sheet.
-
Press down each ball with the bottom of a glass that has been dipped in water to prevent sticking. This will flatten the cookies slightly.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly browned around the edges.
-
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
