The Second Annual Virtual Cookie Exchange

In honor of Jenn's Second Annual Virtual Cookie Exchange I present D's favorite Christmas cookie. These are always the first to go at his parent's holiday parties. The recipe was passed down by his maternal grandmother, and the lore is that it was clipped from the local newspaper, years ago. They aren't particularly festive looking, but even I can get on board with his family about this subject. And you have to admit, it's easy to remember. Sorry, I don't have a picture. Maybe I'll have to make some for D. Without further ado:

The "ONE" Cookie

1 c. butter
1 c. packed brown sugar
1 c. sugar
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla
1 c. vegetable oil
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. cream of tartar
1 c. oatmeal
1 c. coconut
3 1/2 c. all-purpose flour

Cream butter and both sugars. Mix in egg. Blend in oil and vanilla. Mix dry ingredients together, and mix into egg batter. Chill dough for at least 2 hours. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 325° F, until lightly browned, about 12 - 15 minutes. Cool on rack. Makes about 5 dozen.

I have a ton of leftover oatmeal and coconut. I'll have to try these! Thanks for participating!

They do look quite simple - might try them all out!
