Elephant Cookies

My sister introduced these cookies to me, and I really thought they were from Great Harvest. They've got a special crunch to them. And, they're fairly big, but that's not a problem for me, as I can eat and eat and eat any and most cookies, especially these:


The recipe calls to create large scoops of dough: yummy.





Here's the recipe:

1 C. Shortening
1 C. Sugar
2/3 C. Brown Sugar
2 Eggs
1 t. Vanilla
1 C. Flour
1 t. Baking Soda
1/2 t. Baking Powder
1/2 t. Salt
2 C. Oats
2 C. Corn Flakes (Secret ingredient!)
1 C. Choco Chips

Cream shortening and sugars in large mixing bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla, then add flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Slowly add cornflakes and oats and mix until blended. Stir in chocolate chips. Scoop with large cookie scoop onto ungreased cookie sheets and bake for 12-14 minutes at 350 degrees.

hi lacey this is jackie from usu. these cookies look so good... i love great harvest cookies, i have a similiar recipe but with no cornflakes. i think that with wheat flou, butter and oat flour it would be pretty dang close to their recipe. anyways good to " see" you. oh yeah we went to the alpine slide for grandmas day a few weeks ago, i loved to coaster, i am jealous that you got to go so many times!
