<CatRescuer@AOL.COM> Cream the sugars, butter and shortening together.
Beat in eggs and vanilla. Combine flour, salt and soda; beat into
first mixture. Add remaining ingredients to mixture, combining well.
Drop by heaping teaspoons onto greased baking sheet, 2" apart. Bake in
preheated 350x F oven for about 8 minutes, or until cookies are nicely
browned. Let cookies cool on baking sheet for a minute before removing
to cool on rack or paper towels. Store in an airtight container. Makes
7 dozen cookiesx. For best results, form dough into rolls, wrap in
waxed paper and chill until firm. Slice and bake as above. Well, the
original recipe claims it makes 7 dozen. I have had it make anywhere
from almost 10 dozen to 17 dozen normal-sized cookies before,
depending on what ingredients were added or left out. It really works
best if the "additives" are decreased by about 1 cup, as the dough
tends to get too dry to hold together on occasion. Dropping 1/1 to 1
c. oats, or deleting part of the coconut helps avoid the problem.
Alternately, you could probably add another egg or a little more
butter (1/4 cup or less). EAT-L DIGEST 10 JUNE 1996 From the EAT-L
