1 c. white sugar
1 c. brown sugar
1 c. shortening
1 tsp. vanilla
2 eggs
2 1/2 c. flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
2 c. quick cooking rolled oats
1 c. flaked coconut
1 c. orange slices, cut up sm.
1 c. chopped nuts (optional)

Cream together sugars, shortening, vanilla, and eggs. Add rest of ingredients. Mix all together and drop by teaspoonfuls on a greased cookie sheet. Bake in 350 degree oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until light brown. DO NOT OVER BAKE.

Dough will be real stiff. I roll dough in small balls and flatten out on cookie sheet.
