Oatmeal Coconut Cookies

1 cup shortening
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup sugar
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla
1 cup coconut
2 cups oatmeal
dash of nutmeg
2 eggs
2 cups flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 cup chopped nuts, optional
5 Tbs. water

Mix all ingredients together. Drop by spoonfuls on a light greased
cookie sheet. Bake at 350 for 8 to 10 minutes. Cool on wire rack.

Comment: I used Butter Flavored Crisco in this recipe, and it took the
entire 10 minutes of baking time, in an electric oven.
