For this step you'll need:

• 1/2 (75g) All Purpose Flour
• 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
• 1/4 tsp Baking Powder

Preheat your oven to 350˚F (175˚C). In a medium bowl, add your flour, baking soda and baking powder and mix them together. Set aside for now.

For this step you'll need:

• 1/2 cup (105g) White Sugar
• 1/2 cup (90g) Dark Brown Sugar
• 1/2 cup (100g) Shortening
• Mixer (optional)

In your main mixing bowl, add your 2 sugars and shortening together and mix. Having a mixer is optional for this recipe as this cookie dough can be mixed by hand with a spatula.

For this step you'll need:

• Egg
• 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract

Add your egg and vanilla extract and continuing mixing until smooth.

For this step you'll need:

• Premixed Dry Ingredients From Step 1

Add your dry ingredient mix into the bowl. You can go ahead and add it all at once since there isn't that much flour needed for this recipe.

For this step you'll need:

• 1/2 cup (50g) Quick Oats
• 1/2 cup (38g) Unsweetened Coconut Flakes
• 1/2 cup (60g) Your Favorite Nuts 

In a medium bowl, add your quick oats, unsweetened Coconut Flakes and favorite nuts chopped up (walnuts for me). Mix them together and let's proceed to the next step.

For this step you'll need:

• Premixed Nutty Oat Mix From The Previous Step

Add your nutty oat and mix into your cookie dough. If you're using a mixer, I would recommend mixing this in by hand with your spatula as this mix is heavy and can easily overheat a mixer's motor.

For this step you'll need:

• Cookie Sheet
• 1 Sheet Of Parchment Paper
• Your Hands :-)

Lay a sheet of parchment on your baking trays. Grab about 1 big tablespoon of your cookie dough (about a little bit bigger than a walnut are great sizes) and place them on the tray. These cookies spread just a little so I found that 12 fit comfortably on my 17" baking tray. This mix is a little on the dry side so the last few cookies might be a little crumblier than the first cookies.

For this step you'll need:

• Your Oven :-)

Bake for 10-12 minutes in your preheated oven 350˚F (175˚C) preheated oven. 

For this step you'll need:

• Cooling Rack (optional)
• Your Appetite :-) 

If you have a cooling rack, place your cookies on the cooling rack and let them cool for a few minutes. Tinfoil on the counter top or a plate will work as well. These cookies remind me of yummy granola bars but in cookie format! I wonder if we could add chocolate chips or raisins to them...? Hope you enjoy it!
