2 eggs
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
1 cup shortening
1 cup coconut (unsweetened)
3 cups oatmeal
2 cups flour (unbleached all purpose)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt (sea salt)
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup chopped nuts
a bowl of fresh berries of the season
a little bit of heavy cream or melted vanilla ice cream, for serving with the cookies

Recipe



Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Beat eggs in mixing bowl, add sugars and shortening. Mix well. Add coconut, nuts, and vanilla. Sift together the flour, salt, soda and baking powder. Add to egg mixture, adding oatmeal. Roll into small balls the size of large walnuts. Press down with fork. Bake 10-12 minutes, until delicately browned. A typical Iowa way to serve cookies is with a small bowl of fresh berries drizzled with the heavy cream or melted vanilla ice cream. Enjoy!
