1 cup shortening
2 cups white sugar
2 cups brown sugar
2 Tsp. Vanilla
4 eggs
2 Tsp. Baking powder
2 Tsp. Baking soda
4 cups flour
1 cup pecans
1 cup coconut
2 cups oatmeal
1 cup raisins
12 ounces chocolate chips
2 cups corn flakes

1. Cream together margarine, shortening, and sugars.

3. Sift in the baking powder, baking soda, and flour.
4. Add the pecans, coconut, oatmeal, raisins, chocolate chips, and corn flakes.
6. Bake at 360 degrees about 15 minutes.
When cool, cookies should be chewy, not brittle. (Brittle cookies mean you baked them
too long)

CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
1 C. Margarine (do not use butter or shortening in this recipe)
1 C. Granulated sugar
1 C. Brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. Vanilla
2 C. Flour
2 1/2 C. Ground oatmeal (grind oatmeal into a powder in blender)
1/2 tsp. Salt
1 tsp. Baking powder
1 tsp. Baking soda
12 oz. Chocolate chips
1 1/2 C. Chopped nuts (optional)

1. Cream together the margarine and the sugars.
2. Add eggs and vanilla.
3. Add ground oatmeal, flour salt, baking powder and baking soda. Blend well.
4. Add chocolate chips and nuts (if using). Roll heaping teaspoon dough into a ball.
Place on ungreased cookie sheet.
5. Bake at 375 degrees for 12-15 minutes, depending on the size of the cookies
(or until lightly browned). Cool a couple minutes and remove cookies to a cooling
rack or flat surface. (If you don't remove cookies from cookie sheet after a couple
minutes, they may stick.)
*Makes 3-5 dozen depending on the size of the cookies. You can make a few at a time,
and refrigerate the rest of the dough in an airtight container for up to several days.
If you are baking them all at once, after cooling, I place them in a zip lock bag and
refrigerate. If you prefer that "just out of the oven" taste, heat your cookie in a
microwave for 5-10 seconds.
