The Best Cowboy Cookies

This recipe came from my friend's grandmother. It's a hit whenever I make them. They should be called the vanishing cookie! I always make a double batch, so the recipe is doubled.

• Ready In: 40 mins
• Yields: 72 cookies

Ingredients

• 3  cups brown sugar
• 3  cups white sugar
• 3  cups butter (softened)
• 6  eggs
• 1  teaspoon vanilla
• 6  cups flour
• 3  teaspoons baking soda
• 3  teaspoons baking powder
• 1  teaspoon salt
• 3  cups  rice  crispy rice cereal
• 3  cups oatmeal
• 3  cups coconut

Directions

1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Mix together the Rice Crispies, oatmeal and coconut--set aside.
3. Sift together flour, soda, powder and salt--set aside.
4. In a very large bowl, cream brown sugar, white sugar, butter, eggs and vanilla. Slowly add flour mixture to creamed mixture. Add oatmeal mixture and mix together. I use my hands (scrubbed first!) for this part--it's easier.
5. Drop by spoonful on cookie sheet. Bake at 350 for 10 to 12 minutes depending on your oven. If you like them soft.bake less.
