California Rangers

1 cup shortening like Crisco
1 cup white sugar
1 cup light brown sugar--packed
2 eggs (large)
1 tblsp milk
1 tsp. vanilla
2 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp. soda
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp salt

2 cups rolled oats (not instant)
1 cup coconut
2 cups corn flakes

Sift flour, soda, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl. Set aside. In large mixing bowl, cream shortening and sugars, add eggs one at a time and mix well after each addition. Add milk and vanilla. Mix. Add flour mixture a little at a time to the creamed mixture, scraping bowl often. Now add rolled oats, coconut and cornflakes. Mixture will be thick. I have always added these last 3 ingredients by hand mixing with a wooded spoon.

Place rounded teaspoonful of dough on ungreased cookie sheet*. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes.
