Cookies Shared Around the World

Posted on by Still Waters Vineyards

A few months ago we had a very sweet couple visit us from Oregon. Traveling with their two beautiful yellow labs, they were enjoying a road trip seeing the sites of the Central Coast. After picnicking in our gardens, they offered me an AMAZING cookie which was so tasty!

Linda was gracious enough to share the recipe with me and you too! This cookie holds a dear spot in her heart. Named Pride of the Corps, Linda sent these cookies around the world to her son on his various deployments while in the Marine Corps and they were well received.

Enjoy and maybe even send them to someone you know serving our country.

 

PRIDE OF THE CORPS COOKIES

From the kitchen of Linda Clary

1.  Preheat oven to 350o  F

2.  Cream together the following:

1c Brown Sugar

1c white sugar

1c shortening (butter flavored)

½ t. salt

1t baking powder

1t baking soda

1t. vanilla

2 eggs  (beat before adding to the above)

2 c flour

3.  Mix in:

3 c  oatmeal (OK to cut back a bit on oatmeal)

1c chocolate Chips

1 c coconut

½ c nuts

½ c corn flakes

If you have a Kitchen Aid mixer – this recipe is ideal…otherwise, mixing  this dough can help develop your arm muscles.  But, always, well worth it.

4.  Grease cookie sheet.  Bake for about 8 minutes…. maybe 9 minutes

             DO NOT OVERBAKE (or you get hard little rocks)

 

5.  Makes about 2 – 3 dozen.
