I have made this recipe several times altering different aspects each time and to me this is the best cookie recipe ever. The changes I made were 1 1/2 cups of peanut butter instead of 1 cup butter, 3 cups flour and 5 cups oatmeal, not 4 and 4, 4 teaspoons of vanila instead of 2, 3/4 cup of the candy not 1 cup and add 1/2 cup chopped walnuts. Also these cookies bake up best when they are large. I roll the cookie dough into a ball slightly larger than a golf ball. If you try to make smaller cookies you end up with a lot of the candy and chocolate chips on the outside of the cookie not baked inside. I always make the full recipe and freeze most of them. These are delicious fresh but tend to stale quickly. I freeze any cookies that won't be eaten in 3-4 days. They defrost quickly and taste as though they were baked that day

This is a great recipe. I halved it and it turned out great. I did not use the corn flakes. Also I would decrease the onions and butter by about 1/4 next time. I also think it would taste great with chunks of ham mixed in. I used hash browns that are cut into tiny cubes but I think the shredded hash browns would be justs as good if not better.

This is a yummy recipe. I used Pepsi (I don't care for coke)and decreased the nuts to about 2/3 cup. I loved it. I did not cut up the Bing cherries this time but I will do it next time. I think that will make it even better. It is verrry rich. More like a dessert than a salad.
