Cookies

I tried out this recipe today for corn flake cookies and I think they turned out great so, here's to sharing the sweet-tooth love.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup butter
• 1 cup vegetable oil (I substituted corn oil)
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 cup crushed corn flakes
• 1 cup chopped nuts (I substituted the nuts with mini chocolate chips!)
• 1 cup quick-cooking oatmeal
• 4 cups flour (slightly less for chewier cookies)
• 1 tablespoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 325F.
2. Cream butter, sugars, vanilla, and egg.
3. Add oil.
4. Mix in dry ingredients.
5. Place dough by heaping spoonfuls on to ungreased pan.
6. Bake for 10-12 minutes.
7. Cool on pan for a minute or two, then transfer to a rack to cool.

These cookies are great because the cake part is soft and moist but the corn flakes stay crunchy even after cooking. The texture gradient is nice, plus the oats and brown sugar give them some really good flavor.

Bon appetit!
