1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons vanilla extract

Recipe
Cream together sugars and shortening with electric mixer in a large mixing bowl. Add eggs and mix well. Add soda, salt and vanilla and mix well.
Switching now to a large wooden spoon because of dough consistency, add in candied orange slices, nuts, coconut, flour and oats.
Mix well and shape into balls about the size of a walnut. Place two inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 325 for 12 to 15 minutes. Makes 10 dozen cookies.
