This is a recipe that came from a good friend and has to be my favorite of all cookie recipes.
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup shortening
2 eggs
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup coconut
1 cup orange slices (cut into small pieces with kitchen shears)
1 cup oatmeal
1 cup pecans
Mix sugar, brown sugar and shortening. Mix flour, soda, baking powder and salt. Add to shortening mixture along with eggs. When mixed well, add remaining ingredients.
Bake at 350 degrees for 10-16 minutes.
