Thanksgiving is official over and now let the Christmas festivities begin. It seemed only fitting for this month's Secret Recipe Club recipe to pick a cookie. Holiday baking is cookies...and maybe some fudge.
This month I Everyday Insanity. There were so many good recipes that were family tested and approved. I really had a hard time picking a recipe. Thank goodness I had already narrowed the search to cookies.
After looking at her endless cookie options, and I do mean endless, I had a list of about 20 I was tempted to make. I finally picked the Idaho Party Cookies because they sounded delicious and the name made me chuckle.
My husband and I joked about why they could be called Idaho Party Cookies.These cookies have cornflakes and coconut. Idaho has potatoes. If anything they should be called Iowa Party Cookies for the corn aspect.
Everyday Insanity got this recipe from a friend who insisted on trying it. They said these were fantastic and I couldn't agree more.
The combination of ingredients may seem a bit strange but they come together great. The textures work well together too. Crunchy and smooth all at once.
As Christmas season approaches I pass this cookie recipe along to you for sharing. They will love you for it.

This looks great! I think having a little crunch in a cookie is awesome!
ReplyDeleteThese cookies look like so much fun! My grandma used to make cookies with cornflakes in them and they were so good, so they're kind of like a mini flashback to my childhood!
ReplyDeleteThese cookies sound delicious! Yayyy Christmas bakin' time!
ReplyDeleteEmily,
ReplyDeleteI had fun spelunking through your blog this month, and your soup turned out to be the perfect inspiration for me. Thanks!
Isn't Secret Recipe Club fun?
Thank you for the kind comment regarding my blog. I do love cookies and I only blog about the very best! They are called Idaho Party Cookies for a simple reason. My daughter lives in Idaho and had these cookies at a Party. Hence Idaho Party Cookies. I have so many cookie recipes I have to have clever names to associate them to someone or somewhere.
ReplyDeleteWhatever the name they are just plain good!
I'm not a cornflake fan, but cornflakes in cookies are great! The crunch is a perfect texture to add to them :)
ReplyDeleteHappy reveal day!
Well, your guess is as good as mine as to why these are called Idaho Party cookies. All I know is they look delicious and I love the unique combo of mix-ins!
ReplyDeleteI just tried cookies with potato chips in them for the first time, so I guess I am going to have to try cornflakes now, too! :)
