The World's Best Cookies

My Grandma used to make the best cookies, appropriately called "The World's Best Cookies".  If you are looking for something light-tasting to make with the kids this holiday season, give these a try!

1 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 cup oil
1 cup oats
1 cup crushed Corn Flakes
1/2 cup shredded coconut
1/2 cup pecan pieces
1 cup brown sugar
3 1/2 cups self-rising flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla

Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg and mix. Add oil and mix.  Add oats, cornflakes, coconut, Corn Flakes, coconut, nuts and brown sugar and mix well.  Then add flour, baking soda, salt and vanilla and mix well. 

Form balls about the size of walnuts. Put on ungreased cookie sheet, flatten using a fork dipped in water. Bake 12 minutes.

I forgot to use the brown sugar and they were still delicious. 

Out of Self-Rising Flour?  If you have All-Purpose Flour, use it and for every cup of flour, add a teaspoon of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
