Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 cup Shortening; 1 cup White Sugar; 1 cup Brown Sugar, Packed; 2 whole Eggs; 1 teaspoon Real Vanilla; 2 cups Flour; 1 teaspoon Baking Soda; 1 teaspoon Baking Powder; 1/2 teaspoons Salt; 2 cups Quick Cooking Oatmeal; 2 cups Crisped Rice Cereal; 1 cup Shredded Coconut

Servings: persons

1 cup Shortening
1 cup White Sugar
1 cup Brown Sugar, Packed
2 whole Eggs
1 teaspoon Real Vanilla
2 cups Flour
1 teaspoon Baking Soda
1 teaspoon Baking Powder
1/2 teaspoons Salt
2 cups Quick Cooking Oatmeal
2 cups Crisped Rice Cereal
1 cup Shredded Coconut

1
Cream together the shortening and sugars. Add the eggs and vanilla, mix until smooth. Sift the flour, soda, baking powder and salt together (I didn't sift for years, but now I do-I think because I got a new sifter) then add to the creamed mixture. Mix well, then add the oatmeal, rice cereal, and coconut as best you can. The dough will be quite crumbly but never crummy.
2
Shape into little balls about the size of a walnut and place on a GREASED cookie sheet and press lightly (no starch). Bake in a 350 F oven for 10 to 12 minutes. It should make around 4 to 5 dozen cookies, unless the walnuts where you live are really, really big. The biggest pecan I ever saw was in Seguin, Texas but I've not yet made it to Brunswick, Missouri where I hear there is a bigger one. But that is another story.

I can never get my camera fast enough to take a picture of these cookies before they disappear. Maybe I'll make them in secret soon.
