This cookies are what I call White Chocolate Cranberry Macadamia Nut Cookies. Mom has these amazing cookies that she buys at Family Fare that I just love and wanted to duplicate. The duplication is not perfect but I really like how they turned out. I started with the Chocolate Chip Cereal Cookies out of the Adam Street Kitchen Kaleidoscope on page 100; these are the chocolate chip cookies that mom used to make when were were young. This recipe makes 80 cookies and I did not need or want that many so I halved the recipe then added some things and subtracted a few others and...voila!
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup margarine
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 egg beaten
1 3/4 cup flour
1/2 t soda
1/2 t salt
macadamia nuts (I just chopped up and threw in what I had...probably about 1/2 cup)
1/2 cup oatmeal
1/2 cup cornflakes, crushed (I used Special K because that is what I had in the house)
1/2 t vanilla cranberries (I just dumped until it looked right in the dough...I think I started with 1/2 cup added a little, so probably 3/4 cup)
1/2 pkg white chocolate chips (1 cup)
Beat oil, margarine, and sugars until fluffy. Then add the rest of the ingredients. Bake at 375* on lightly greased cookie sheets until light brown, 10-12 minutes.
funny... I don't remember homemade cookies in the house when I was young. :)
