Oatmeal-Coconut Crisps
Cookies For All Occasions

10 minutes“Time is money, so even though shortening in stick form costs slightly more than shortening in cans, it saves in measuring and cleanup time. Simply slice off what you need and store the rest.”
Ingredients
Serves 36
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup butter or margarine, softened

- 2 eggs
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 1/2 cups raisins

Preheat oven to 350°F. Mix flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a small bowl; set aside. Beat butter, shortening, brown sugar and sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
2
Add vanilla and eggs to butter mixture; beat until smooth, about 1 minute. Add flour mixture; beat until blended, about 1 minute.

If these cookies lose their crispness when stored, recrisp them by baking for 5 minutes in a 300°F oven.
