Ingredients

1 cup shortening
1 cup white sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup flaked coconut
2 cups rolled oats
1 cup chopped pecans
1 cup gumdrops, chopped

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
