Oatmeal Chocolate Chip "Tookies"

Most people call them cookies but the little boy I do day care for helped me make "tookies" today :).
As I was throwing the ingredients into the mixing bowl, I said, "We need butter". He says, "NO! I don't like butter on my tookies".and on it went..he didn't want those things "on" his "tookies". Maybe this is the first time he's made cookies or at least known what goes in them, but how cute is that?
Now that it's nap time, I'm going to bake them so they'll be ready for after nap snack.
Was gonna make oatmeal raisin but darn it, I couldn't find the raisins I just knew I'd boughten..maybe I didn't. Could very well be!
So...we make this Oatmeal chocolate chip variety.

2 c flour

1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 tsp soda
1 c shortening (I use 1/2 margarine and 1/2 butter)
1 c sugar
1 c br. sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 c quick cooking oats
2 c coconut
1 pkg semi sweet chocolate chips
Ok, you know me...Throw everything in but flour, oats, coconut and chocolate chips in.Mix it all up...then throw in the oats and coconut. Mix. The flour and mix and then finally, the chocolate chips.
375 deg. 9-12 min.
I only use real chocolate chocolate chips for my cookies and I also don't use "generic" or store brand flours. That makes all the difference in the world of how they look and taste if you ask me. Just my honest opinion.
