Free recipe Friday 5


I can't believe it's Friday again. I just did a recipe. Not only is it Friday, but it's the 23rd. Of May. Where did March go? yes, i am that far behind.
Let's do my recipe for my oatmeal crisp cookies. I'm not sure if that's what they are called, i call them my full of crud cookies because after you make the base of the cookie, you can add what ever you want, and they are still yummy.
This recipe came from my MIL, she says it's her 2nd sons favorite cookie. Make them and you will see why. I know they are my favorite. Oh great, now i feel like making cookies.
1 cup butter
1 cup Brown Sugar
1 cup white sugar
1 tsp vanilla
2 eggs
1 1/2 cup flour
1 tsp salt
2 tsp baking soda
3 cups oatmeal
3/4 cup coconut
2 cups nuts
cream butter and sugars, add eggs, then add dry ingredient. I have mixed in fresh cranberries at Thanksgiving, white chocolate chips at Christmas raisins/craisins is when I want to pretend I'm eating a "healthy" cookie. almonds are my favorite nut, but walnuts and pecans are really good in this too. Mix and match your favorite things.
