This recipe has oatmeal, Rice Krispies and coconut. Very crispy and yummy. I clipped it from a Southern Living magazine years ago. It's requested time and again at my house. The key to this recipe is definitely the rice krispies. Kellogs (a Michigan based co) introduced these in 1904. This recipe represents the Midwestern U.S.

84 cookies (change servings and units)

These are ridiculously good. I ate 6 before they had time to cool. As dangerous as they are, I will be making these regularly. Thank you!

    If my memory serves me right these cookies were offered al la cart in the cafeteria at my high school in Michigan many, many years ago. They are WONDERFUL! No additions, no subtractions need!ed

    Perfect! These cookies were so delicious! I, too, found that there was no need to flatten the cookies as they spread out nicely on their own. I really liked the addition of Rice Krispies which added the perfect amount of "crunch". I think these would be fun to try at Christmas time with the seasonal red and green Rice Krispies to add a colorful touch. Thanks for sharing this recipe, I plan to make it again soon!

    This is a great recipe - one that my Grandma has, and I was surprised to see it was in Southern Living. It is great. The only difference is that my grandma's recipe calls for using a glass dipped in sugar to flatten the cookies before you bake them. The extra sugar on the top makes them extra yummy.
