*This recipe started out as "Chela's Cookies", a recipe given to Chela by her grandmother, Ninetta LaVern Griggs. She came to visit after a baby (Catrin) was born and Chela being 5 was bored. Ninetta was always more concerned about the older siblings than she was with the baby. I guess she thought the Mom could take care of the baby, but the older siblings needed a little TLC. She created this recipe and named it after Chela.

To share this recipe you MUST name the cookie after the child the cookies are given to... ie. Melody, Jane or Peter. You can change the recipe by changing the cereal or adding chocolate chips, nuts, coconut, dried fruit, frosting, melted chocolate on top etc. Literally making "Their cookie" because it's about out their favorite things. Enjoy and please spread the love Chela’s grandmother gave to her around a bit.
