Ingredients:
1 cup butter or margarine
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1 egg
1 cup vegetable oil
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 cup oatmeal, old fashioned or instant
1 cup crushed cereal (flakes, crispy types; anything crunchy)
1/2 cup coconut
1 cup chocolate chips
3 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp. baking
soda 1 tsp. salt granulated sugar

How to make this recipe:
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a large bowl cream, butter and sugars. Add egg, oil, and vanilla; beat well. Stir in next 5 ingredients. Sift flour, baking soda and salt into mixture. Mix well.

Shape into 1-1/2 inch balls. Roll in sugar and place on ungreased baking sheets. Flatten with a fork dipped in cold water, or the sugar.

Bake 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned around edges. Cool on sheets partway before removing to wire racks. Notes: Notes: I often put in 1/2 cup of nuts, and reduce chocolate chips to 1/2 cup. Or increase the coconut. The 1 cup cereal can be any type of cereal. I have not used fruit flavored, but I have used granola, crispy rice, corn flakes, and bran flakes. The key is to crush whatever kind of cereal you use. This cookie is crispy yet chewy. I give them in tins with circles of wax paper between layers.
