This one of my Aunt Maria's recipes. She is the Christmas Cookie Queen. I remember when I was young my mom & other aunts all making their specialties & then getting together for a cookie swap. Well, now Auntie Maria bakes all the cookies for the entire family! Each household gets their own large tray that's full of many different varieties. I have no idea how many she bakes. It's got to be well over three hundred. So, here's to you Auntie Maria, it wouldn't be Christmas without your cookie trays. This is an easy recipe that requires very little prep time.
INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup butter
1 14oz can of Eagle sweetened condensed milk
6oz bag of chocolate chips
1 & 1/2 cup of grain crackers (finely chopped)
3/4 oz of coconut
1 cup walnuts (chopped)
9x13 baking or casserole dish
*Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
*Place butter in baking/casserole dish & put in the oven until melted.
*Sprinkle grain cracker over the butter.
*Layer coconut.
*Add chocolate chips as next layer.
*Top it off with chopped walnuts.
*Slowly pour condensed milk over all the entire mixture.
*Bake for thirty minutes.
*Let cool entirely before cutting into small squares.

***It looks as though the Fingerpaint Gingerbread Man is the worst Xmas cookie of 2004. I'm sure my Mom is proud of me. All those years at art school really paid off.
