Family Favorite Cookies Recipes

My mother got this recipe in about 1910 when she was a housekeeper and cook for the local physician. The doctor's wife was an excellent cook and taught my mother of lot of her cooking techniques. The cookies soon became a favorite in our home and, when I got married and had a family of my own, they were a favorite throughout the years. My five children also enjoy baking these cookies for their own families-it's a real family tradition.

I assume this recipe came from a package of Country Crock spread. It originally called for 2 sticks of Country Crock Spreadable Sticks, but I use butter instead. I recently learned I'm allergic to nuts, so I really like the oats and Rice Krispies in this recipe. It gives the cookies what I'd miss in a chocolate chip cookie without nuts. Since there's only a cup of each, they don't overpower the cookie either. I don't like coconut very much so I probably will omit it the next time I make these.
