List of Ingredients




1 cup butter-flavored shortening
1 cup creamy peanut butter
2 cups packed brown sugar
4 egg whites
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
2 cups crisp rice cereal
1-1/2 cups chopped nuts
1 cup flaked coconut
1 cup quick-cooking oats

Recipe



In a large mixing bowl, cream the shortening, peanut butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg whites and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking soda and baking powder; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Stir in the cereal, nuts, coconut and oats.

Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheets. Flatten with a fork, forming crisscross pattern. Bake at 375 degrees for 7-8 minutes. Remove to wire racks.
