by Laurel, from King Arthur Flour


List of Ingredients




1 cup (6 1/4 ounces) vegetable shortening or butter
1 cup (7 3/4 ounces) brown sugar, firmly packed, light or dark
1 cup (7 ounces) granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
2 cups (8 1/2 ounces) King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup (3 ounces) rolled oats (not instant)
1 cup (2 1/2 ounces) shredded coconut
1 cup (6 ounces) chocolate chips
3 cups (2 3/8 ounces) crispy rice cereal or cornflakes

Recipe



Beat together the shortening and sugars, vanilla and salt until fluffy; add the eggs and beat until smooth.

In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and baking soda; add the flour mixture to the shortening mixture and beat until well blended. Stir in the oats, coconut, chips and cereal, mixing just until blended.

Drop the dough by rounded teaspoonfuls onto lightly greased or parchment-lined cookie sheets. Bake the cookies in a preheated 350°F oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until they're golden brown. Yield: 60 (2- to 2 1/2- inch) cookies.
