100 Good Cookies

1 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 cup oil
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. cream of tartar
3-1/2 cups flour
1 cup quick-cooking oats
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 cup milk chocolate chips + some extra for cookie tops before baking
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips + some extra for cookie tops before baking
1 cup sunflower seeds
1 cup crisped rice cereal (like Rice Krispies)

Cream butter with sugars. Stir in egg and oil. Sift together salt, baking soda, cream of tartar and flour. Add to creamed mixture. Mix well. Stir in oats, vanilla, chocolate chips, sunflower seeds and Rice Krispies. Mix well. Drop by tablespoonfuls onto greased (or parchment paper lined) baking sheets. Flatten out a little and add a few chocolate chips to the top of the cookies...you could also add some pecans if you want. This just makes them look pretty!! The toppings are optional. Bake at 350 for 8 to 10 minutes. Let stand several minutes before removing to wire racks to cool completely.

YIELD: about 100 cookies
