Julia's Collections

When my mother passed away 20 years ago, my sisters and I had the not-so-fun job of going through her treasures. No one spoke for her recipe collections, so I grabbed them. You see, my mom was a fantastic cook. It seemed a shame to me to have those recipes go unclaimed! Well, here we are, 20 years later; and those recipes have rested in their special place on my closet shelf waiting to be tried . . . .

Company Coming - Corn Flake Cookies

Caryn & Family are coming this weekend. Gotta have cookies. It's a good thing that I won't be left alone with the cookies - they are so good that I have already eaten __ (too many). Leaving it blank cause I might just have another. I think these cookies would be good with butterscotch chips.

CORN FLAKE COOKIES
1 tsp. soda
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. baking powder
2½ cups sifted flour
2 cups coconut
1¼ cup shortening
1 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs well beaten
1 tsp. vanilla
2 cups corn flakes
Sift dry ingredients together. Cream shortening, add eggs & sugar & flavoring. Combine dry ingredients with creamed mixture. Add coconut and cornflakes. Drop by teaspoonfuls. Bake 350°F about 10 min.
