cookie recipes



3/4 cup butter-flavored Crisco
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 large egg, room temperature
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups quick-cooking oatmeal
1 cup shredded coconut
1 cup maraschino cherries, well-drained and halved (or 1/2 cup dried cherries)
METHOD
Heat oven to 375 degrees. Coat two cookie sheets with baking spray and set aside. Put sugars, Crisco, vanilla, and egg in a large mixing bowl. Using an electric mixer, cream these ingredients until fluffy. Add baking soda, salt, and oatmeal. Beat on lowest speed until oatmeal is incorporated into the dough. Stir in coconut and cherries with a wooden spoon. Drop dough by rounded teaspoonfuls onto baking sheets. Leave two inches between each cookie. Bake for 7-10 minutes until cookies are brown. Remove from oven. Let cookies cool on baking pans for about 30 seconds before removing. Makes about 40 cookies. Store in air-tight container.
