Crunchy Oatmeal Cookies Recipe

Crunchy Oatmeal Cookies

Ingredients
1 1/2 cups uncooked quick-cooking oats
1 cup flaked coconut
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup light brown sugar (packed)
2/3 cup butter flavored shortening
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
2 cups oven-toasted rice cereal

Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large mixing bowl, with electric mixer at low speed, beat the oats, coconut, flour, brown sugar, shortening, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and eggs until well blended, occasionally scraping bowl with rubber spatula. Stir in cereal with wooden spoon.

Grease 2 large cookie sheets. Drop dough by heaping tablespoons, about 2 inches apart, onto cookie sheets. Pat cookies into 2-inch rounds.

Bake cookies 10 to 12 minutes or until golden, rotating cookie sheets between upper and lower racks halfway through baking time.

Allow cookies to cool slightly on cookie sheets then move cookies to wire racks to cool completely.
