These are hands down my favorite cookies in the world.
They are insanely addictive.
This is one of those fun recipes that you can play with, the ingredient amounts don't have to be exact. If you really like cinnamon add more cinnamon, hell.. use cinnamon flavored applesauce and see how that works.
It's just fun.

2 Cups Brown Sugar
2 Cups White Sugar
1 3/4 C quick cook oatmeal
2 Cups applesauce
4 eggs
4 Cups all purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons vanilla extract (please use real, not imitation)
4 Cups cornflakes cereal
1 1/2 Cups chopped walnuts
1 1/4 Cups flaked coconut
3 to 4 dashes of Cinnamon
(I occasionally add craisins, dried apricots, raisins.. you get the drift) Add more coconut at will.

Oven at 350

1. Cream together Brown sugar, white sugar, applesauce and eggs.


2. Add flour, baking soda, salt and oatmeal; Mix WELL.


3. Stir in cornflakes, nuts and coconuts. (this would be where you add your other goodies, too)

Drop by Tablespoonfuls (ish) onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until they develop a lovely golden color.
Cool on cookie sheets.
You can turn them a dark, almost cocoa shade and they won't burn... but they will become really crisp. So if you like a crunchy cookie, cook them longer.
I like the softer, chewy kind myself.. but DH... crispy... thus, the difference in the cookies you see in the pictures.
