Simply Awesome The Best Cookie Recipe
I have made these cookies for years. Maybe you have too, but just in case you haven't, this is it! Make them big or small....they always disappear!

They sound wonderful, I'll be sure to make some of these, great post, thanks for sharing this one with us. Blessings!


I compared it to a recipe from my mother's cousin called "Alma's Awesome Cookies"...yep, same recipe, and these are soooooo good. I haven't made them in a few years now (it makes a BIG batch), but your post has reminded me of them, and they will surely be made by me again soon - GREAT cookie!


These look good- I've been in a cookie making mood lately- have everything but cornflakes, but will be making soon!


I'm going to make these on Thursday and bring them to a Christmas party for homeless women and kids. Thanks!


I made a double batch (HUGE amount!!), and they were truly delicious, and it's true, they magically disappear. I have questions: what is the quantity of vanilla? Was I correct in measuring the cornflakes first and then crushing them? I used unsweetened coconut, was that correct? Whether I did it right or not, they were fabulous, both raw and baked.


Very good! thank you!


Yes I have eaten these,Grandad use to call them Cowboy cookies,put a couple in his overall pocket before going out.Thanks
