My Grandma used to make these cookies and we all loved em. I took a chance and decided to look for the recipe and was so happy when I found it here. It was the exact same recipe. Thank you so much!

My mother made these cookies when I was little over 40 years ago, she said she got the recipe from home ec. The oats and coconut are NOT optional...they don't turn our right without them. Also the shortening has to be BUTTER, otherwise the taste is totally different. As these are a sandwich cookie, they don't make many. We ALWAYS triple the recipe and double the filling recipe. Another tip is to use a cookie scoop so the cookies are relatively the same in size. If you do all of this, you will LOVE these cookies. They are my favorite!
