Cream shortening and sugars, add eggs, Gradually add flour. Then fold in the coconut, peanuts, and oatmeal.
Bake at 375 degrees F for 8 to 10 minutes, or till very lightly brown.I have found that a trick to making good cookies is to slightly underbake them, then take them out of the oven and let sit on the pan. That finishes baking them and they are so much more tender.
Note: Sometimes I find I need to add a bit more flour than the recipe calls for. but just a few tablespoons. If you like raisins, you could add them also.
I didn't have enough brown sugar the last time I made these. I only had 1-1/4 cups of brown sugar so I added 1 whole cup of white sugar. It didn't seem to make a difference.
