3/4 cup butter or Crisco
1/2 cup peanut butter
l cup sugar
l cup brown sugar (packed)
2 eggs
1/4 cup milk
ltsp vanilla
2 cups flour
1tsp soda
l tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 cup oatmeal
1 cup raisins or craisens
1 package milk chocolate chips
1 cup chopped nuts
1 cup coconut

Cream shortening, peanut butter and sugars until smooth
Mix flour, soda, baking powder and salt and add to the
creamed mixture. Add to creamed mixture. Mix well. Blend
in chocolate chips, oats and raisins and coconut. If necessary add a bit more milk. Drop by tablespoons on a
cookie sheet you have sprayed or greased. Bake at 350
degrees. The recipe says to bake l5 minutes but I like
softer cookies and found they cooked in about 7 minutes.

This makes a large batch.
