Baba's Rancher's Cookies

 
 
 
Rancher’s Cookies
1 cup Golden Crisco shortening
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
2 cups flour
1 tsp. Baking Soda
½ tsp. Baking Powder
½ tsp. salt
2 cups Oatmeal
1 cup shredded or flaked Coconut
1 cup Rice Krispies
 
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Cream shortening, sugars and eggs.  Add flour, B.Powder, B. Soda, and salt, blend, add rolled oats, blend and then add coconut and krispies. Dough will be nice and soft. Form small walnut shaped balls and press down with fork on lightly greased baking pans. Bake 10-12 minutes. I use light, silver coloured baking pans…old fashioned ones….because I find the newer ones burn too quick. Depending on how large your cookies are…you can easily get 5-6 dozen.
Really good cookies with Hot Chocolate or Tea....
