Okay, 'best' is always in the mind of the beholder or something to that effect! This is a favorite cookie at our house because it has everything in it, doesn't require icing, and doesn't take long to make. I like relatively fast recipes in the summer months as I can get them in and out of the oven before the heat can outdistance the air conditioning and still provide the family with a homemade treat.
WORLD'S BEST COOKIE
1 cup butter (do not substitute)
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg
1 cup salad oil
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
31/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup regular oatmeal
½ cup coconut
½ cup chopped pecans
1 cup cornflakes, crushed
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Cream butter, sugars and vanilla with a mixer until light and fluffy. Add egg and salad oil, mixing well.
Add baking soda, salt and flour and mix well. Add oatmeal, coconut, pecans and cornflakes and stir well.
Form into balls the size of walnuts. Place on ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten with fork. Bake for 12 minutes. Makes around 4 dozen.
