Cowboy Cookies. Loved the cookies and so did the rest of the family. I used walnuts because that is the nut I had. I also added chopped dried cherries to the batter when I added the nuts and coconut. All you need is a cold glass of milk. In a large bowl, with an electric mixer, cream the shortening, granulated sugar, and brown sugar.
Add eggs and the vanilla and beat until well blended.
Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside.
May substitute butterscotch chips, peanut butter chips, or raisins for chocolate chips.
