The World's Best Cookies

By Dad

This is a recipe from Nana, with a few modifications from the online recipe (adding the nuts and chilling the dough). I like it because it's got brown sugar in it. The corn flakes provide a nice crunch while the coconut and oatmeal make it chewy. The recipe can also be found here: https://www.crazyforcrust.com/the-worlds-best-cookies/
