Ingredients

1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
1/2 cup shortening
2 eggs
2 3/4 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 1/2 cups Cinnamon Burst Cheerios™ cereal
1 cup flaked coconut

Steps:

Heat oven to 375°F.
In large bowl, beat brown sugar, butter, shortening and eggs with electric mixer on medium speed until creamy. Add flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, salt and 1/4 teaspoon of the cinnamon. Beat on low speed until blended. Stir in cereal, coconut and pecans.
