Mrs. Beechy'S Mennonite Crunchy Cookies
- 1c Crisco Shortening
- 1c Sugar
- 1c Brown Sugar (packed)
- 2 Eggs
- 2c Flour
- 1tsp Baking Soda
- 1tsp Baking Powder
- 1tsp Salt
- 1tsp Vanilla
- 2c Oats
- 1c Coconut
- 1/2c Semi Sweet Chocolate Chip
- 2c Cornflakes
- Sugar for rolling
- Preheat oven to 350*. Cream Crisco, Sugar, Brown Sugar and eggs together with a spoon. Add flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and vanilla and mix with the spoon. Add oats, coconut, chocolate chips and cornflakes one at a time mixing with the spoon between each addition. You may need to use your hands to mix the dough once it gets very thick. Roll the dough into 1 inch balls and roll each in sugar. Space the balls on a cookie sheet. Dip the bottom of a drinking glass in water and then sugar to coat. With the glass press each ball into a 1/4 inch thick circle. Bake at 350* for 10-12 minutes. The cookies should be a light golden-brown. Let them cool for 5 minutes before moving to a plate.
