Ingredients

  • ½ cup shortening Crisco
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar packed
  • 1 egg
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup flour if making gluten free refer to notes
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 cup quick-cooking oats
  • 1 cup cornflakes or Rice Krispies cereal
  • ½ cup shredded coconut
  • ¾ cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°
  • Mix together shortening, granulated sugar, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract.
  • Add flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Mix cookie dough thoroughly. Stir in oats, cereal, coconut, and chocolate chips.
  • Drop rounded tablespoons of dough on an ungreased baking sheet.
  • Bake for 8-10 minutes.
  • Let cool on the tray for a minute, then place on a cooling rack.

Gluten-Free Version

  • Follow steps 1 and 2 of the above instructions but for the flour, use the gluten-free substitute recipe below. You can use 1 cup of gluten-free flour for 1 cup of regular flour.
  • Place your gluten-free cookie dough on a parchment-lined baking tray.
  • Bake for about 10-12 minutes. The middle will look bubbly and uncooked, and it is done. But make sure the cookie is dark and flat.
  • Allow cookies to cool a bit on the tray. Once they are set up, remove and place them on a cooling rack.
