Crispy Rice Drop Cookies

Submitted by Hannah

"This is a wonderful cookie that has been a family favorite. The puffed rice cereal added into the cookie makes it very crispy and just delightful. Puffed brown rice works well for this If the cookie batter is a bit dry, just add two tablespoons extra milk or water."

Made the recipe as given, & found these cookies a nice treat! About 2/3 of them went off with my other half to share at one of his weekly meetings, but the rest were just for the 2 of us! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Made & reviewed for one of my adopted chefs in this Spring's Pick A Chef event]
