Good Fences and Good Cookies

Hi,  Today I will be linking up for Theresa's GOOD FENCES post and also something new that I just joined.  FILL THE COOKIE JAR.

Please note my Good Fences photo's will follow right after the cookies.

This months cookie theme for Fill The Cookie Jar is:  Dad's Favorites.
Now I don't really know if these were my dad's favorite cookies or not.  My dad had a "sweet tooth" for just about any kind of cookie, cake, pie, dessert...well you get the picture.  I bet if he was around today he's say his signature phrase:  "There's only one thing wrong with these cookies.  There's not enough of them!."

However in the case of these cookies there are plenty of them to be found with this recipe.  It makes 6 dozed cookies so be prepared for a full cookie jar for sure if you bake these.

Crisp 'N Crunchy Cookies.

 Ingredients:
1 Cup Sugar
1 Cup Firmly Packed Brown Sugar
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
1 Cup butter or margarine, softened.
1 Cup Cooking Oil
1 tsp. Vanilla
1 Egg
3 1/2 Cups All Purpose Flour
1 Cup Rolled Oats (I used the Quick 1 Minute oats)
1 Cup Flaked Coconut
1 Cup Crisp Rice Cereal (which I accidentally left out in the one's I baked today and just now realized but they turned out okay anyway.)
1/2 Cup Chopped Nuts (I used chopped pecans)

Oven Temp: 350F
In large bowl, combine the first 8 Ingredients.  Beat 2 minutes at medium speed until smooth.  Add flours; beat 1 minute at low speed.  Stir in remaining ingredients.  Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls, 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets; flatten slightly with the bottom of a glass dipped in sugar.  Bake 10 to 14 minutes or until light golden brown.  Yields, 72-84 cookies.
These are great to dip in milk for those of you who like to dunk your cookies.

So let's join Theresa for GOOD FENCES now.

 This is the fence that borders the outside area of the local dog park.  I just love all the fun colorful dog cutouts.

 

 

 

Notice the little sign to the left of the dog:

This one was the closest to our little Pug, Cricket who loves to go to the dog park but wasn't with me this day as I took these photos right after my dental appointment last week.  The dog park is located near my dentist so I took the camera along to get these shots.

That's it for today.  I hope to get around to your blogs but since I've been sick this week I've fallen a little behind.  I will do my best to catch up over the weekend.
