These cookies were delicious. Probably not the one that you saw in TOH, but wonderful. It calls for cornflakes, but I used Frosted Flakes and came out fine. I DID use all the cereal called for. I made half the recipe, but wish I had made the whole one. Will sure make them again soon.
The list of ingredients sound very much like "my" recipe for Dunking Platters. They were always a hit with friends and family in the States and now that I live in the UK, I still get raves about my American Cookies. These are the best!!
Dunking Platters
2 c. melted butter
2 c. white sugar
2 c. brown sugar
4 eggs, beaten
2 tsp. vanilla
4 c. flour
2 tsp. soda
2 tsp. baking powder
2 c. rolled oats
2 c. corn flakes
1 1/2 c. raisins
1 c. walnuts or pecans, chopped
1 c. coconut
Melt butter, stir in sugars until blended. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Add dry ingredients and stir in raisins, nuts and coconut. Drop by tablespoon on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes, depending on whether you like soft or crunchy cookies.
This recipe makes a lot of cookie dough. You can either freeze some of the dough or freeze some of the cookies. They taste wonderful either way.
Enjoy!
Sorry I forgot who posted it originally--she was somebody who had made them in England.
