My good friend Maureen Keleher once sent these to me for my birthday at Breadloaf. They arrived in a one foot tall cylindrical tube, wrapped in brown paper -- the Quaker oatmeal box, of course! This recipe makes 60 small cookies, and, although these have certainly become Maureen's cookies, their recipe comes, not surprisingly, from Mr. Quaker himself. (Check the box!).Cream:
1 cup unsalted butter
1 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar
Add:
2 beaten eggs
1 tespoon vanilla
...and beat well!
Sift and Add:
1 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
Stir In:
3 cups of oatmeal
1/2 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup coconut flakes
1/2 cup walnuts
Note: I would add 1/2 cup of cranberries or raisins except that the eaters of my cookies will say that I have put too much "stuff" inside of them... alas!
Bake ungreased at 350 degrees for ten minutes. This recipe makes 60 small cookies.

Hello! I just wanted to say that your pictures are beautiful, and the recipes look delicious. My mother doesn't usually cook fish because my father hates it as a food group, so she was delighted to find your recipes because she's having her parents over and was looking for one :). Also, as my sisters and I tend to follow the same 2 or 3 recipes for cookies almost every time we bake, I'll have to suggest we try this one next time! They look delicious and I think the idea of cranberries sounds amazing!
Good luck going back to school- I'll have to email you soon!
