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).
