I don't know why they're called that but they are the best cookies ever! And easy too.

In large bowl, mix:

3/4 cup Butter Flavor Crisco
4 teaspoons water
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
3/4 cup granulated sugar

Mix in:

2 eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla

In medium bowl, mix:

1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 12 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour

blend into Crisco mixture

Mix in:

1 1/2 cups old fashioned oats

Fold in:

1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup sweetened flake coconut
1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts

Heat oven to 350. Drop by rounded teaspoonful on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 11 to 12 minutes.

2. Oh absolutely

Actually, I should have changed that because butter is what I use. I will edit. Thanks.

On edit - too late to edit.
