the disappearing cookie

Another cookie post!! I know, I know. I need to post something other than cookies, and I promise I will. I just can't help it. First, we make a whole lotta cookies at Christmas time in our family. Second, I just can't resist these cookies. They are just so yummy. We've called them the Disappearing cookie, because that's just what they do. They do not last long.

These buttery confections are chocked full of oatmeal, chocolate chips, coconut, raisins, and pecans. Here's the original recipe. My mom made them Wednesday nights for my band mates and the fam. We take the recipe and customize it. When you add the chocolate chips, you're going to also add 1/2 cup coconut, 1/2 cup raisins, and 1/2 cup of pecans or walnuts.

I promise you will love these cookies just as much as my family does. Just make sure you hide some for yourself because they disappear fast!
