These cookies are much better and easier to handle than my other recipe for Ranger cookies. I substituted coconut for the pecans and added a cup of chocolate chips. I also used two cups all-purpose flour. The dough handled very well, but became dry and crumbly near the bottom of the bowl. I think next time I make these, I'll use butter for half, or maybe all, of the shortning, or maybe cut the regular flour back to 1 3/4 cups. The baking time for me was about 12 minutes. This is definitely a keeper!
