Delicious Cookies
(thanks mom!)
Heat Oven to 375 deg.
Mix Together:
- 1 Cup butter or margarine
- 1 Cup brown Sugar (You can use a little less!)
- 1 Cup white Sugar (You can use a little less here too)
- 2 Eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 tsp almond extract (optional)
Add:
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp cloves
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 3/4 cups flour
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup coconut (optional)
- 1 cup nuts (optional)
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup cereal (rice crispies, muslix or whatever – optional)*
- 1/2 cup bran or wheat germ (optional)
- *I usually add 2 extra cups of oats rather than the cereal. I like oats*
Drop onto cookie sheet and bake at 375 deg for approx 12 min (though in my oven they are done in exactly 8 minutes).
I love this recipe simply because it is such a basic recipe and I can throw in a little of this and a little of that. I sort of clean out my pantry leftovers into it. Sometimes I add raisins or sunflower seeds too….and they are soooo yummy! (and you can make them healthy!)
Those look great! Thanks for sharing!

These look delish!! 😀 Chock full of goodness!
Those look great. I think I like the idea of the oats instead of the cereal. (I add oats to lots of cookies and bread even if they don’t call for it.)
