This makes a large batch of cookies, thus the name. It came from a dear, long time friend & Pen Pal from Nebraska many years ago. They can be frozen and thawed later. And it is a great way to use up left over cereals.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups white sugar
  • 2 cups brown sugar, packed
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 cups vegetable oil
  • 4 cups dry corn flakes
  • 1 1/2 cups oatmeal
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt (optional)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups coconut, flaked
  • 1 1/2 cups nuts, chopped
  • 2 cups chocolate cips and or raisins

How To Make dishpan cookies

  • Step 1
    In a large bowl, mix all ingredients (I use the largest Tupperware Bowl). Use hands if necessary to mix ingredients well. I have used latex surgical gloves to keep the ingredients from sticking to my hands.
  • Step 2
    Measure about an eighth of a cup or less of cookie dough into hand to form a little ball. Bake on ungreased cookie sheet about 1 inch apart.
  • Step 3
    If you use a tablespoon measure to scoop from bowl you should get about 75 to 100 cookies. I freeze some in an air tight container for later. Almost any flake cereal can be used so it is a great way to use up dabs of left over cereal and also the nuts of your choice.
