Deen Family Cookbook: Meemaw's Kitchen Sink Christmas Cookies

As you'll soon find out, these cookies had a ton of ingredients in them, making the taste oh-so-delicious.  The resulting texture of the cookie was unexpected.  Mine turned our rather crumbly.  They remained whole when I'd pick them up, but they almost felt like sand in your hands.  Hard to describe, and I'm not sure if I did something wrong or if that was the intended texture.  I saw a few reviews online where people had the same result, so I guess that was supposed to happen?  They were still delicious!

 

Deen Family Cookbook - Meemaw's Kitchen Sink Christmas Cookies (3 Points+ each)
Ingredients
-3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
-1 teaspoon baking soda
-1 teaspoon cream of tartar
-3/4 teaspoon salt
-1/2 pound (2 sticks) butter, softened
-1 cup granulated sugar
-1 cup lightly packed light brown sugar
-1 cup vegetable oil
-1 egg
-1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-1 cup puffed rice cereal
-1 cup sweetened flaked coconut
 -1 cup rolled old-fashioned oats
-1 (8-ounce) package toffee bits

Directions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt.

Using an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugars. Scrape the sides of the mixer bowl and beat in the oil, egg, and vanilla until smooth. Beat in the flour mixture in 3 small additions, scraping the sides of the bowl after each one. Slowly beat in the rice cereal, coconut, and oats. Fold in the toffee bits and refrigerate the dough, covered, for 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Drop rounded tablespoons of dough on 2 cookie sheets, leaving at least 1-inch of space around each drop. Bake until the cookies are golden around the edges, 12 to 14 minutes. Transfer the cookies to wire racks to cool.

Makes approximately 60 cookies. Mine made 74.

Note: If you Google this recipe, the one shown on Foodnetwork.com is slightly different.  That one shows them dipped in chocolate sprinkled with crushed candy canes, which sound amazing, but this was not how it was published in the cookbook.
