Mom's Pantry Cleaning Cookies


This is from Amy's recipes, and again, is exactly how she likes to cook! Her stuff is DELISH, but mine would come out crummy! (mostly, because I'd add a ton of flax seeds, wheat germ and something strange like rutabega in mine!)
Mom's Pantry Cleaning Cookies

(named because I can usually clean out the dabs of stuff I have in the pantry with this recipe)

Cream together:
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup white sugar
1/4 cup of butter
1/2 of an egg (or 1 whole if you can't figure that out)
1/4 tsp. Vanilla
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/4 cup flour

Add to that:
1/4 cup of dates
1/4 cup raisins (can use cranberries)
1/4 cup of chopped nuts
1/4 cup of coconut
1 cup of Oatmeal

(I have made this with cranberries, chocolate chips, pecans, walnuts, use anything you need to).
Drop onto cookie sheet and bake at 350 until set. This is 1/2 of a batch so it's perfect for a small family with no left overs!

Today it has: Cranberries, choc. Chips, coconut, oatmeal and marshmallows
