Instructions:

1. Cream together sugars and shortening.

   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the white sugar, brown sugar, and shortening. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream the ingredients until light and fluffy.

2. Add eggs and vanilla.

   • Crack the eggs into the mixture, one at a time, ensuring each egg is well incorporated before adding the next. Add the vanilla extract and continue mixing until smooth.

3. Sift dry ingredients and add with coconut, oatmeal, and cut-up gumdrops.

   • In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing well after each addition. Fold in the shredded coconut, oatmeal, and cut-up gumdrops.

4. Mix well.

   • Ensure all ingredients are thoroughly combined. The dough should be rich in texture with a vibrant mix of colors from the gumdrops.

5. Drop by small spoonfuls onto a greased cookie sheet.

   • Use a spoon to drop small portions of the dough onto a greased cookie sheet, allowing space between each cookie for spreading during baking.

6. Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes.

   • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the cookie sheet in the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.

7. Remove from the pan right away and cool on a rack.

   • Once baked to perfection, promptly remove the cookies from the pan and transfer them to a cooling rack. This step ensures a delightful combination of soft centers and slightly crisp edges.
