The kids will enjoy helping with this recipe! This recipe yields a lot of cookies, so freeze the excess in freezer bags for later! Note: You will need a very large bowl (or dish pan) for mixing.
INGREDIENTS (for 6 servings):
- 2 cups white sugar
- 2 cups light brown sugar
- 4 eggs
- 2 cups vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 4 cups cornflakes cereal
- 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup flaked coconut
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1 cup chopped dates
- 1 cup raisins
PREPARATION:
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Lightly grease a cookie sheet.
Cream sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vegetable oil and vanilla together in a large bowl or dishpan. In a separate bowl combine flour, baking soda and salt. Stir the flour mixture into the creamed butter; mix until well combined.
Stir corn flakes, oats, coconut, pecans, dates and raisins into the dough. You will most likely need to use your hands to mix everything thoroughly. Shape the dough into 1 1/2 to 2 inch balls and press them down lightly onto a greased cookie sheet.
Bake in a preheated 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) oven for 10 to 14 minutes or until golden.
