This recipe makes a ton of cookies! They are a very pretty, humble cookie, not too sweet or rich,with kind of a sandy texture because of the oil/cream of tartar. Couldn't try one myself since I gave up sweets for Lent, but Hubs said these were a "mature cookie," and his staff said they took Rice Krispies to a new level, with the walnuts adding a nice crunch. Update 10-23-13 from my original Feb. 2008 review: I made these again today and this time it's not during Lent! Oh my goodness, what a cookie. It's bakery-style pretty first of all, though I made them bakery-style size! The cookie is buttery, light, tender and a little crispy. They have lots of texture and lots of flavor from the oatmeal, nuts, coconut and Rice Krisipies. I waited far too long to make these a second time!

recipe is big & economical but the taste is nothing to write home about (Wanted to add this update. I made 12 doz of these cookies in 2 hours. I wrote the first sentence after the first couple of batches came out of the oven. After a bit I started varying things and by taking out the cookies while they were still quite light in color, they were much tastier. So either my oven runs hot or the recipe has them in for too long BUT if you don't overcook them these ARE a decent cookie and you can make A LOT FAST and PRETTY CHEAP!) Thanks for sharing the recipe!
I love this recipe and have adapted it. We use the basic ingredients then add a cup of anything we have on hand, like chocolate chips, raisins and m$m's. It is easy for the younger children to participate in and makes plenty for school parties!! Definitely a keeper!
The bake time really does make a difference with these cookies. The best batch was in for 11 minutes. I thought they might be a little under baked, but after sitting for a few minutes they were quite good. I tossed the first batch that baked for 15 minutes - way too long for these cookies I found. The texture is good and chocolate chips add a nice sweetness that the cookie seems to lack otherwise. Not my favorite, but a decent cookie and a hit with the kids.
These are great cookies. My family loves this cookie. Very tender with a delicious taste.
I usually am not big on cookies, but these are fantastic. I love the succulent flavor the butter brings and the different textures of the coconut, cereal, oats, and nuts. I make 'monster' size cookies with this recipe for 4 doz total, and after my 3 batch or so have started using double strength vanilla. Great cookies! Thanks for Sharing!
I think these are great! I'm making them as I type. The kids are going to love these! I omitted the walnuts and added an extra cup of rice cereal, as we aren't big nut fans. Fabulous recipe! Thanks!
The submitter says 'lots of cookies' - she is correct. I used my 1 TB cookie scoop and got 121 cookies from a single batch. Plenty to share with many people! Everyone who tried these cookies loved them. They are crunchy on the outside and chewy on the inside. The crisp rice cereal give the cookies a great texture. I subbed sliced almonds for the walnuts, as that is what I had on hand. I baked one tray without nuts for my son and then added the nuts to the remaining batter. The batter is very soft, in fact, I thought I had missed a cup of flour, so I did a test bake. They came out perfect, so it is just a soft batter, not the cook! A really good recipe, especially if you need a lot of cookies.
Just made these. Chewy, yet crisp edges. wonderful flavor. Butter/ brown sugar create a butterscotch flavor. These will be added to my recipe box for future dates.

Such a great recipe. I used pecans instead of walnuts and added 1/2 cup raisins 1/2 cup cranberries and cup of chocolate chips. So delicious. My whole family and coworkers devoured them in just 2 days.
Loved these cookies My husband is not a cookie person and he loved these. Will definitely make them again.
There's a recipe in my family we call Eloise's Cookies because when my daughter and I went to visit our distant cousin and his wife (Eloise) she had made a big batch and offered us one. Neither of us could stop eating them to the point where we embarrassed ourselves by eating so many!
This is that recipe! To a T. It's a find. They mix up very easily and bake up nicely. In previous reviews, people seem to like them just barely done (one person recommended 11 minutes). I prefer them kind of brown on the bottom so I found they're just about right for me at about 15-16 minutes, and I have a fast oven! I will cut the sugar by a quarter next time. Almost every sweet recipe is too sweet for me. I used pecans instead of walnuts (preference) and they were SO good. I added a cup of mini chocolate chips which I will omit next time. I thought they overpowered the delicate buttery caramel-y flavor.
By putting everything in the same bowl and mixing it all together at once, it makes them pleasantly grainy almost like pecan sandies. The sugar crystals don't melt into the eggs and butter quite the same as if you cream those ingredients together first. Interesting.
We've been making these cookies for many years, and we love them! For some reason we call them Grumps? Idk, but we use chocolate Crunch bars instead of the rice krispies because why not? A great thing about this recipe is that it has half butter for good taste, and half oil which actually fries the flour and makes a buttery crisp cookie! The coconut(is that in the recipe? We put that in, too. and pecans instead of walnuts but either works!) Thank you so much for this wonderful recipe!
Followed the recipe exactly except I didn't have any walnuts so substituted with 1 cup of pumpkin seeds. Baked 3 dozen plain, then divided the remainder of the dough in half and added finely chopped raisins to one half and mini chocolate chips to the other half (6 dozen cookies all together) I have to admit I like the ones with added indgredients best and especially the chocolate chip ones!
