How to Make Worlds Best Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened margarine and ¾ cup granulated sugar and ½ cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 1 large egg and ⅓ cup salad oil.
  4. Stir in 2 cups rolled oats, 1 cup crushed cornflakes, 1 cup shredded coconut, and 1 cup chopped nuts (your choice!).
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Roll dough into 1-inch balls.
  7. Place balls onto the prepared baking sheets.
  8. Dip a fork in water and flatten each ball slightly.
