Oatmeal Coconut Crispies
Making Refrigerator Cookies.
Oatmeal Coconut Crispies
The Oatmeal Coconut Crispies are a refrigerator cookie. The dough is softer; it is formed into “logs” about 2 inches in diameter, wrapped in wax paper and refrigerated for several hours or overnight. When ready to bake, the log dough is cut into 1/4 inch slices and baked. Refrigerator cookies have a rich flavor, lightly browned, uniform thin slices and a crisp, crunchy texture. This recipe is from the original Betty Crocker’s Cooky Book, 1963
