Remember Mom's "Crisp cookies"? I have a new recipe that is almost exactly like hers, but this one has the addition of rice krispies and chopped pecans, and no raisins. Its good. They sell these in our local grocery store and call them "ranger cookies".
1 cup butter
1 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 TBS milk
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 cups rice krispies
2 cups oatmeal
1 cup chopped pecans
1 cup coconut
Cream first six ingredients, then add the combined flour, soda, baking powder and salt. Mix well then stir in the remaining good stuff. Bake about 11 minutes at 350 degrees until light brown. Scoop them out with a cookie scoop but flatten them a little with your fingers before baking.
I think this was the cookie that Mom made most often when we were kids. I wonder how she ever found time to bake at all!
Love from Jeanie

Did grandma's cookies have coconut in them?
ReplyDeleteYes, they did. I think I remember Mom or Florence Mahoney saying that crisp cookie recipe was from Grandma Margaret Mahoney's family.
