Aunt Ola Mae's Cookies

My gandmother made these cookies all the time and they are a family favorite.  So where did the name come from.....Who is Aunt Ola Mae?  Ola Mae was my grandmother's cousin, who was more like a sister to her.  She was a wonderful woman, always with a ready sweet smile, a gental spirit and I hold many special memories of her.  This is Aunt Ola Mae's cookie recipe, passed to me by Grandma Frieda.  This recipe makes A LOT of cookies, so it is great for holiday baking.  Be prepared to share....or they freeze beautifully!

1 cup sugar
1cup brown sugar
1 cut butter
1 cup oil
1 egg
3 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon cream of tarter
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup coconut flakes
1 cup quick oats
1-2 cups rice crispies
1 cup chopped pecan(or walnuts)

Cream together butter and sugars until light and fluffy.  Add oil, egg and vanilla and mix well.  Mix in flour, cream of tater and baking soda, do not over mix.  Stir in remaining ingedients.  Drop by rounded teaspoons onto a baking sheet and bake at 350 for about 10 minutes until golden brown.
