Cut orange slices with scissors dipped in flour. Lightly flour the orange slices but shake off excess flour. Use about 1 pound orange slices.

Measure out 2 cups quick cook oatmeal (uncooked) and 1 cup shredded coconut. Combine all ingredients. Stir by hand. Roll the dough by hand in little balls the size of a walnut; lay on cookie sheet. Dip fork in sugar and flatten lightly, each ball.
