Grape Nuts Cookies

This is a fun cookie.  The Grape Nuts almost feel like toffee bits when you’re crunching through them in the chewy cookie.  There’s nothing interesting about how they look though, so no picture.

Ingredients:
1 Cup butter, softened (or 1/2 cup butter, 1/2 cup shortening)
1 Cup brown sugar, packed
1 Cup white sugar
1/3 Cup honey
4 eggs
4 teaspoons vanilla
2 Cups flour
2 Cups Grape Nuts cereal
2 Cups rolled oats
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350º.  In a large bowl, combine (with an electric mixer) the first six (wet) ingredients, in another bowl, combine the next five (dry).  Stir together with a stout wooden spoon; will be too stiff to use a mixer.  Drop by rounded tablespoons onto a greased cookie sheet; not too closely, they spread.  Bake for 8 – 11 minutes, allow to set a few before removing to counter to cool completely.
