recipe leona davis submitted by marina #1434 Directions: cream crisco, brown sugar, white sugar, 4 beaten eggs, and vanilla together. In a seperate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix dry ingedients to blend. Add, rice krispies, rolled oats, coconut, pecans and chocolate chips. Begin adding dry ingredients to creamed crisco mixture, this mixture will get stiff, and unless you have dough hooks, it will become necessary to mix by hand.If needed add a Tablespoon of water to moisten just a bit After you have added all ingredients and they are well blended. roll dough into small to med balls and place on cookie sheet. Flatten dough with fork, and Bake at 325 F. for 8 to 10 minutes. NOTE: this makes at least 8 doz. cookies. I have made the recipe and refrigerated dough during the holidays.( great for those of us who like hot cookies and milk. I also have cut recipe in half and that works well for me. This recipe is quite old and given to me by an aunt of 76 years old. When she said by hand after working in some of the dry ingredients she means BY HAND, said get right in there and toss the dough around blending it well. Marina phx. az. -----
