A Man's Cookie image

This is a recipe I got from my neighbor, Dottie, who is a great cook. It's simple and similar to other cookies on this site, but not exactly...as far as I know. You might want to double the recipe because it only makes about 3 dozen.

Time 20m

Yield 36 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup shortening, butter flavored
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup quick-cooking oats
1 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup coconut
1/2 cup nuts, chopped (I use a mix of pecans & walnuts)

Steps:

  • Cream together shortening and sugars. Add egg and vanilla and blend well. Stir in remaining ingredients. Roll into walnut sized balls and place on ungreased sheets. Bake in 350 degree oven for about 10-12 minutes or until barely brown or they'll be too crispy when cool.
