Kathy's Incredible Clean the Cupboard Cookies

Grandma B used to make these when  we were kids to use up what was left in the cupboards.

2 STICKS BUTTER SOFTENED (NOT MELTED ALL THE WAY)
CREAM TOGETHER WITH:

3/4 CUP WHITE SUGAR (if the cereal you use is sweet, use ½ cup instead)
3/4 CUP BROWN SUGAR (if the cereal you use is sweet, use ½ cup instead)

Add and beat well one at a time:
TWO EGGS

Then mix in:
1 TABLESPOONS SOY OR REGULAR MILK
1 1/2 TEASPOON VANILLA

Pour all this from above over dry ingredients already mixed:
3/4 CUP WHITE FLOUR
3/4 CUP WHEAT FLOUR OR WHOLE WHEAT PASTRY FLOUR
1 TSP BAKING SODA
1 CUP OATMEAL (OR 1 EXTRA CUP OF CEREALs below)
3 CUPS CRUNCHED UP LEFTOVER CEREALS (IN PAST HAVE INCLUDED KIX, CINNAMON LIFE, SPECIAL K, RAISIN BRAN AND GRANOLA, TOTAL, CORNFLAKES – MIX CEREALS UP IN QUISINART TO MAKE FLOUR TYPE TEXTURE)

Mix entire mixture together, then:
ADD ONE CUP CHOCOLATE CHIPS

Bake 350 or 375 for 10 minutes, move to shelf above for 1 minute, then let cool outside oven for 2 minutes before removing from pan to cooling rack. Makes 3 dozen medium sized cookies. If not flattening, press spatula to flatten half way through baking.

  1. Oh I used to beg mom to make chocolate chip cookies instead fo her "clean the cupboard cookies" - I really disliked those corn flakes and peanuts in a cookie!
