Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda and salt. Set aside. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the sugars, butter and margarine until fluffy. (It is okay to use all butter and no margarine for this recipe, but you still need the oil.) Add the egg, milk and VANILLA and mix well. Gradually add the flour mixture and mix well. Add the oil and mix. Fold in the corn flakes, oatmeal and chocolate chips. Drop the dough by the teaspoon onto ungreased cookie sheets. The cookies tend to spread so don't make the dough balls too big or place them too close together, and make sure the oven is fully preheated before starting the baking. Bake at 350° for 10-12 minutes, until golden. Let cool and serve with a big glass of milk and a smile!
