Delicious Cookies

 Preheat oven to 350º

1 cup shortening

1 cup brown sugar

1 cup white sugar

2 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla

 2 cups sifted flour

1 teaspoon soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup coconut or bits o brickle or half and half ***

2 cups dry cereal (wheaties, corn flakes or rice krispies) I prefer the texture of the rice krispies.

Mix shortening and sugar, then add eggs one egg at a time. Add sifted dry ingredients  then, cereal, nuts and coconut. Drop by teaspoonful onto greased cookie sheet and pat down to flatten.

Bake at 35oº for 15 minutes. Less time if using a convection oven.

***There are times that I don't have either coconut or Bits o Brickle so I just add an extra teaspoon of vanilla to give the cookies a boost in flavor.
