"the breakfast of champions' cookies"
These cookies got their name because I use wheaties. They disappear fast, so you might want to make a double batch. The dough freezes well.

How To Make "the breakfast of champions' cookies"
-
Step 1Preheat oven to 340 if you are using dark sheets or 350, if shiny. Make sure rack is in middle of the oven. (I use 15x10 sheets, because 2 fit on the rack perfectly!) -
Step 2Sift flour, salt, baking powder and soda and all spices together. Combine Wheaties, coconut, nuts and craisins in another bowl.
-
Step 3Cream the butter and sugars. Add the egg and vanilla, mix. Add flour in batches and mix. Add Wheaties mixture in batches as it is going to get hard to get the mixture to combine, but it will.
-
Step 4Chill the dough for about 20 minutes. Scoop about 1 heaping tsp. of dough and shape into balls. I usually put 10 balls per sheet (they will spread) and place 2 cookie sheets side by side on the rack.
-
Step 5Bake 11 minutes or maybe 12, but you don't want them too dry. They should be a little chewy.
